The Your Heritage programme offers grants between £3,000 and £100,000 inclusive for projects that relate to the local, regional or national heritage of the UK (except the Channel Islands and Isle of Man). We welcome applications that help people to learn about, look after and celebrate heritage in a fun and enjoyable way.
We have three aims which relate to learning, conservation and participation.
To receive a grant your project must:
- help people to learn about their own and other people’s heritage.
Your project must also do either or both of the following:
- conserve the UK’s diverse heritage for present and future generations to experience and enjoy.
- help more people, and a wider range of people, to take an active part in and make decisions about heritage.
Your Heritage is a rolling programme and there are no deadlines for applications. You will receive a decision on your application within 10 weeks from us receiving your fully filled-in application.
We strongly recommend you contact us for advice before making an application. You should complete the pre-application enquiry form and full application online. To do this
