Heritage is a huge asset in our national balance sheet - but it is often taken for granted. Without it, the UK would lose much of its distinctive identity and character.

We have only just begun to recognise the contribution that heritage can make to a modern society. Our challenge now is to define how best to use our funding to have the greatest impact.

With your help we can do that, and ensure that heritage continues to make a difference.
