Wales

From Abergavenny in Wales to rural Essex, explore how our latest round of investments is supporting the regeneration of towns and landscapes.

Thanks to the support of National Lottery players, we’ve invested more than £1billion in heritage projects of all shapes and sizes throughout the UK’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Biospheres and Geoparks.

Get paid to learn about heritage sector governance and grant making for 18 months – no previous experience necessary.

We’re delighted to announce funding for these new Heritage Places, the next chapter of a 10-year journey to help places thrive by connecting communities to the heritage on their doorstep.

We’re supporting 40 towns and cities across the UK to improve and create accessible green spaces, streets and neighbourhoods.

This summer our Wales team are headed to Wrecsam to connect with communities and share the work we support at The National Eisteddfod.

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.

Thirteen projects will restore and strengthen natural heritage across Wales thanks to Nature Networks Fund grants.

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

Eleven projects have received up to £250,000 Nature Networks Fund grants to protect, preserve and promote natural heritage across the nation.

The third phase of our Heritage Innovation Fund is supporting projects across the UK to roll out creative new ways of working.

Two new rounds of grants are helping projects across Wales to create, restore or enhance woodlands and engage local communities in nature.
