National Lottery Heritage Fund
The National Lottery Heritage Fund awards money from The National Lottery to preserve and transform the heritage of the UK through innovative projects that will make a lasting impact on people and places, and bring heritage to life for generations to come.
The National Lottery Heritage Fund is wholly funded by National Lottery Players and supports projects ranging from restoring natural landscapes to rescuing neglected buildings, from recording diverse community histories to providing life-changing training. Since 1994, HLF has supported just over 43,000 projects allocating more than £7.9 billion across the UK.
Many of our most famous landmarks, including Stonehenge in Wiltshire, Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian, the Giant’s Causeway in Moyle and Cardiff Castle in Cardiff, have benefitted from The National Lottery Heritage Fund’s support. Additionally, thousands of community heritage projects are providing opportunities for people to explore historic buildings, protect the environment, learn new skills, delve into archives and discover untold stories.
