Using money raised by National Lottery players, we distribute grants from £10,000 to £10million to support projects across the UK that connect people and communities to their heritage.
We also distribute heritage funding on behalf of the UK and devolved governments.
Heritage can be anything from the past that you value and want to pass on to future generations. Understanding, valuing and sharing our heritage brings people together, inspires pride in place and supports local economies.
Since we were established in 1994, we've awarded £9.5billion of National Lottery and other funding to 53,000 projects across the UK.
In addition, we provide leadership and support across the heritage sector and advocate for heritage.
