From rural landscapes and traditions, to cities and towns which were at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, heritage in the North West is rich and wide-ranging. Across the region, HLF is working with diverse communities to help create a sense of place and identity, and to regenerate communities.
We are keen to work together with local and regional groups to develop projects that will give people a better opportunity to experience, enjoy, care for and protect our heritage. We encourage any organisation which is planning to make an application for a heritage project to seek pre-application advice at an early stage.
If you are not able to access the pre-application form online, please contact us on 0161 831 0850 and ask to speak to a member of the office or development team.
We have identified a number of priority areas and groups that have benefited less from our funding in the past. Contact us for more information about our development priorities.
In April 2011, a team of young people from across the North West came together to create a pop-up installation celebrating their heritage and identity.
