Our priorities
Our strategic initiatives
Through Heritage 2033 we're taking a longer-term view, investing in heritage for the future as well as for the present, in places, not just individual projects, to bring about benefits for people, communities and our natural environment.
We’re proactively tackling heritage issues at large and cross-territory scale, accelerating new ideas and addressing gaps in proposals coming in through our National Lottery Heritage Grants.
