For the past thirteen years, MBArchaeology has trained and supported thousands of local people across a number of projects, courses, workshops and schools sessions across the East Midlands.

Due to Covid-19, all 2020 projects and courses were postponed back in March, and the reality is none will take place now until 2021.

The government's support schemes don't provide enough for us to continue as "none operational" for much longer, meaning there is a growing reality that the business won't be able to continue and those involved are forced to seek alternative employment.

A fundraising campaign has been suggested a few times now to help us tick over and search for ways that may allow us to operate in a reduced or socially isolated fashion - a tall ask for community archaeology!

Any support our friends and followers can give will help towards securing the future of the business and will hopefully allow us to carry on providing opportunities for local people in the months and years to come.
