Valuing our heritage, investing in our future
Using money raised through the National Lottery, the Heritage Lottery Fund gives grants to sustain and transform our heritage. From museums, parks and historic places to archaeology, natural environment and cultural traditions we invest in every part of our diverse heritage.
Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded £600m to over 560 historic public parks including Roberts Park, Yorkshire
Conservation
We want to protect and hand on what people value most, open up more of our heritage for everyone to enjoy, and regenerate and enrich our historic cities, towns and countryside.
We have given £17m to create 800 paid heritage skills training places
Participation
We believe that everybody should have the opportunity to identify, care for and enjoy heritage, and want to help new people and groups take an active part. We are committed to supporting, recognising and valuing the contribution of volunteers.

Learning
Providing opportunities to learn about heritage, and helping people to develop skills to care for the culture, places and knowledge we have inherited, is at the heart of what we do.
