Welcome to a leaflet which focuses on Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grants for projects that help black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and communities in the South West to celebrate and share the heritage that is important to them.
People from diverse communities have been settling in the region for centuries and play an important part in shaping it.
To date, HLF has given more than £3million to around 100 heritage projects led by or benefiting minority ethnic groups – from exploring the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade to sharing cultural traditions and experiences.
In this leaflet you can find out about our grant programmes and schemes we have supported, and get advice if you are thinking of applying to us for a grant. We hope you will be inspired to plan your own heritage project, and we look forward to hearing your ideas.
