The National Lottery Heritage Fund, formerly the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), distributes a share of National Lottery funding, supporting a wide range of heritage projects across the United Kingdom.
History
The fund's predecessor bodies were the National Land Fund, established in 1946, and the National Heritage Memorial Fund, established in 1980.[3] The current body was established as the "Heritage Lottery Fund" in 1994.[4] It was re-branded as the National Lottery Heritage Fund in January 2019.[5]
Activities
The fund's income comes from the National Lottery which is managed by Camelot Group.[6] Its objectives are "to conserve the UK's diverse heritage, to encourage people to be involved in heritage and to widen access and learning".[7] As of 2019, it had awarded £7.9 billion to 43,000 projects.[5]
In January 2019 it simplified its funding schemes under one banner "National Lottery Grants for Heritage" with awards from £3,000 to £5 million.[5] Funding requests for projects over £5 million will be considered as part of two time limited national competitions to be held in 2020–21 and 2022–23.[5]
The chief executive is Ros Kerslake OBE, and René Olivieri is the chair of its board of directors.[8] The previous chair, Sir Peter Luff, retired at the end of 2019.[9]
Major projects
Major projects have included:
- Creation of the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea – awarded £11 million in 2002[10]
