HLF has just launched its third Strategic Plan (2008-2013).  Over the next five years around

£1 billion will be invested in the UK heritage with simpler application processes and more help for applicants. We will still fund the same range of heritage projects and all our grant programmes will continue - but with new application materials and some changes. You can find the new application materials and apply online under How to Apply 

We will start assessing applications on the new forms in September 2008.
