Not-for-profit organisations across the UK can now apply for grants of between £250,000 and £10 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for projects connecting people and communities to UK heritage.

- professional fees, event costs and activities to strengthen organisations
- acquisition of heritage and costs associated with the purchase
- costs to join Fit for the Future, a UK-wide environmental sustainability network
Projects must take into account the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s four investment principles:
- saving heritage
- protecting the environment
- inclusion, access and participation
- organisational sustainability
