Heritage Lottery Fund Projects

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) was set up by Parliament in 1994 to give grants to a wide range of projects involving the local, regional and national heritage of the United Kingdom. They distribute a share of the money raised by the National Lottery. In 2007 HLF will allocate around £290 million to projects in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Since 1994, the HLF has awarded £3.6 billion to more than 22,500 projects across the UK with a range grants from £300 to £5 million.

The HLF supports community development within its programmes, but is directed towards the fabric of heritage. The Big Lottery Fund (BLF) concentrates more on people and activities, but occasionally some categories cover landscape- or townscape-related ventures.

We have prepared three conservation management plans for HLF bids that have all resulted in successful grants for our delighted clients. We understand the process and put together specialist teams appropriate to the age and style of the park or garden to help clients prepare an application.
