Our achievements : Future
Nobody has calculated the scale of funding required to restore, preserve and open up all our heritage but estimates show that:

  • £5.6 billion needs to be found from public and private sources to bring Buildings at Risk back into use.

  • £1.2 billion would be needed to meet the backlog of work and ongoing repairs needs of 12,200 listed Anglican places of worship in England; this does not include the needs of places of worship of other Christian denominations and other faiths.

  • Around £3 billion is needed to regenerate our historic parks.

  • £10 million would create access to digital archives across the country

  • Canals and inland waterways need around £700 million to repair them.

  • £1.05 billion is needed to bring historic cemeteries into good condition.

  • In one English region alone (the North East), the regional agency identified a need for £40 million to expand museum, library and archive storage and modernise services.
