Heritage Lottery Fund

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) sustains and transforms a wide range of heritage though innovative investment in projects with a lasting impact on people and places. As the largest dedicated funder of the UK’s heritage, with around £255million a year to invest in new projects and a considerable body of knowledge and evaluation over 15 years, we are also a leading advocate for the value of heritage to modern life. From museums, parks and historic places to archaeology, natural environment and cultural traditions, we invest in every part of our heritage. HLF has supported more than 30,000 projects allocating £4.5billion across the UK.

From rural landscapes and traditions, to cities and towns which were at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, heritage in the North West is rich and wide-ranging. Across the region, HLF is working with diverse communities to help create a sense of place and identity, and to regenerate communities.

We are keen to work together with local and regional groups to develop projects that will give people a better opportunity to experience, enjoy, care for and protect our heritage. We encourage any organisation which is planning to make an application for a heritage project to seek pre-application advice at an early stage.
