The fund is interested in supporting tackling heritage challenges systemically, becoming more sustainable, sharing their heritage, and welcoming people from all backgrounds, including those who rarely visit.

NLHF aim is to support strategic projects in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that have the potential to make an impact at a regional or national sector level and will:

• Proactively tackle long-standing heritage issues at a large scale

• Enable a coordinated cross-territory approach that will strengthen delivery

• Address gaps where proposals are not coming through our National Lottery Heritage Grants programme

• Accelerate new ideas and interventions where a deliberate approach is needed
