Membership of Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) Committees offers an exciting opportunity for individuals to help shape the future of heritage. Members need to have a broad appreciation of their countries heritage and a commitment to promoting its public understanding and enjoyment to the widest possible audience.

Sheena Wurthmann, Committee Member for Scotland, who will be standing down in August said: "As a member of the Committee for Scotland I have seen great projects come to fruition - without HLF support they would have struggled. I have learned about history, culture and community. I have been able to encourage the natural heritage projects, ensuring their continued significance and contribution within Scotland's landscape. 

“When I applied the question was asked: "Do you care about Scotland's heritage?" I did and do, and have enjoyed contributing to the positive results of HLF funding. The staff and the committee make an excellent team that is a joy to work with. Six years has passed too quickly and it is now time for someone else to take up the baton."

We are currently recruiting for a Member vacancy on our Committee for Scotland. Committees take decisions on all requests from £50,000 and up to £1million and provide a crucial country perspective to the HLF Board on larger grants over £1million and on targeted programmes and initiatives.
