Scotland

From the Norfolk coast to the canals of Scotland, our latest batch of grants will provide opportunities for people to get hands on with heritage and connect with their area’s past.

National Lottery Open Week is running from Saturday 15 to Sunday 23 March 2025, with hundreds of heritage venues getting involved.

The support of National Lottery players will transform the River Leven Valley into a beautiful public space that highlights the area’s history.

In our latest round of funding decisions, we’ve awarded £1.25million to eight projects with exciting and innovative people-centred plans.

Events to highlight our support for places of worship took place last week to encourage organisations to apply for funding.

Help us celebrate the innovative ways projects have acknowledged their funding and win the chance to have a social media film made about your project.

We’ve recently awarded seven projects with funding to reimagine and protect the UK’s history of innovation, transport and industry.

National Lottery Open Week is back, taking place from Saturday 9 to Sunday 17 March.

We’ve changed our application guidance and forms to reflect our new strategy, simplified our materials and made our requirements more proportionate to the amount of money you’re applying for.

From urban walking routes and dramatic wild landscapes to Regency gardens, we’re funding projects that will connect communities with their natural heritage.

Leaders from six projects we’ve funded have taken home a prize this year.

We’re forging long-term partnerships with towns and cities across the UK as part of a 10-year journey to help places thrive by unlocking the potential of their heritage.
