Great News for Local Heritage

I got some fantastic news from the Heritage Lottery Fund yesterday. I can’t say any more at this stage (the grants have not been publicly announced yet) but what I can say is that in the last 4 years I have supported charities to submit 10 project applications to HLF totalling around £1.5million. Of these, 9 were successful and I am quietly very proud about this.

Only one (£30,000) was unsuccessful but the charity concerned learnt a lot from the process and was able to set up a new partnership as a result of their development work.
