Board and committee opportunities

Our board and committees help make decisions on where to invest funds.

The Board

The Board of The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) and The National Lottery Heritage Fund consists of a chair and up to 14 trustees, appointed by the Prime Minister.

The Board:

  • sets our strategic and policy framework
  • determines our strategy and our annual business plan
  • makes decisions on NHMF funding, The National Lottery Heritage Fund grants over £5million and our UK-wide strategic campaigns
