Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund distributes grants from £10,000 to £10million to support projects across the UK that connect people and communities to their heritage. Their vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future.

Heritage has the power to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to the past. The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK's heritage. It supports projects ranging from restoring natural landscapes to rescuing neglected buildings, from recording diverse community histories to providing life-changing training. Thanks to National Lottery players, the Heritage Fund has distributed £8.6 billion to more than 47,000 projects across the UK.

Many of our most famous landmarks, including Stonehenge in England, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs in Scotland, the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland and Cardiff Castle in Wales, have benefitted from support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Additionally, thousands of heritage projects are providing opportunities for people to explore historic buildings, protect the environment, learn new skills, delve into archives and discover untold stories.
