    The National Lottery Heritage Fund has put together a £50million fund to support the heritage sector as an immediate response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.  

    The UK-wide fund – money raised from The National Lottery – will address immediate pressures over the next three-six months for those organisations most in need. It will be open for applications within the next few days.

    We will continue to support more than 2,500 projects that we have already committed to – an investment of more than £1billion.

    Eilish McGuinness, The National Lottery Heritage Fund Executive Director, Business Delivery, said:  “We know that circumstances are incredibly challenging for our heritage community right now and we want to do everything we can to support them. We hope this new fund will be a lifeline and a beacon of hope for organisations affected.

    “Heritage has an essential role to play in making communities better places to live, creating economic prosperity and supporting personal wellbeing. All of these are going to be vitally important as we emerge from this current crisis.”

    Heritage Emergency Fund

    The £50m fund will be available for grants of between £3,000 and £50,000.

    It is available to organisations across the full breadth of heritage, including historic sites, industrial and maritime heritage, museums, libraries and archives, parks and gardens, landscapes and nature.

    Organisations which have received funding in the past or are either a current grantee, or still under contract following a previous grant, can apply.

    Priority will be given where:
    •there is limited or no access to other sources of support
    •where heritage is most at risk
    •where an organisation is at risk of severe financial crisis due to COVID-19

    A raft of extra support

    We know that the majority of heritage organisations are facing temporary closure, severe impact on their revenue and staff shortages. Many face threats to their long-term futures. A small percentage fear they will not be able to last into the summer.

    This is why we are taking a short, medium and long-term approach to our support for your immediate challenges and longer-term resilience and recovery.
