Our aim is to make heritage integral to plans and approaches that are making local areas better places to live, work and visit.

We want to boost pride in place and connection to heritage across whole places rather than individual projects.

In October 2023 we announced the first nine of up to 20 places across the UK where we’ll invest £200million:

  • Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Council Area
  • County Durham
  • Glasgow
  • Leicester
  • Medway
  • Neath Port Talbot
  • North-East Lincolnshire
  • Stoke-on-Trent
  • Torbay

Considerations for a Heritage Place application

  • core project activities must be located in one of our heritage places
  • projects should be part of a wider ambition to improve or transform the area, supported by local partners and organisations
  • projects should be collaborative and will need to demonstrate evidence of support from local partner(s)
