Our transition to Heritage 2033

We’ve published the first three-year delivery plan for our new 10-year strategy, Heritage 2033. It includes details about our budgets and priorities, and forthcoming changes to National Lottery Grants for Heritage.

As we transition to Heritage 2033, there will be a short period when some of our programmes are closed.

Applications for National Lottery Grants for Heritage from £3,000 to £250,000 and development round grants over £250,000 under our Strategic Funding Framework are currently closed. (Expressions of Interest and delivery round applications are not affected.)

From January 2024, we’ll re-open applications for grants from £10,000 to £10m under Heritage 2033, with new guidance and application forms.
