Thanks to National Lottery players, since 1994 we have awarded £3.3billion to more than 10,300 area, historic building and monument projects across the UK. See stories from projects we've funded below.

We provide grants for heritage projects from £10,000–£10million to ensure that heritage is valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future.

These projects can help to sustain jobs, support economic growth and protect heritage at risk. They can also bolster local pride, nurture traditional craft skills and help communities enjoy and make use of the places they care about.

What do we support?

Projects we fund include:

• investment in places of worship
• conservation and repairs to historic buildings and places
• finding appropriate new uses for historic buildings
• community archaeology projects

Places of worship

Places of worship are among the UK’s oldest and most cherished historic buildings. We want to help congregations become truly resilient and their buildings genuinely sustainable.

Project ideas

Our funding could help people:

• repair and transform a historic building at the heart of their community
• help volunteers learn building conservation skills
• rescue a building on a Buildings at Risk register
• undertake a community archaeology project
• regenerate a historic town centre or high street
• look after and learn about a local war memorial
