What we do 

Using money raised through the National Lottery, we give grants to projects that sustain and transform a wide range of heritage for present and future generations to take part in, learn from and enjoy.

Our focus is on conserving, sustaining and sharing heritage. Through our grant-making we aim to:

  • 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 their heritage;
  • help people to learn about their own and other people's heritage.
