Thriving Places

We’re helping Caistor and District Community Trust restore derelict historic buildings in the town centre and repurpose them for commercial and community use.

We've awarded nearly £12.5million to a transformative project aiming to preserve the UK’s biggest National Park, empowering communities to help nature and improve wellbeing.

The Wilder Luton project is helping local people connect with and care for green spaces in the town and the surrounding chalk hills landscape.

Our investment has helped bring St Columb's Hall back into community ownership and is funding improvements to make it welcoming, accessible and no longer at risk.

A new project is exploring opportunities to conserve, celebrate and revitalise Dunure's historic assets, supported by South Ayrshire Council and us.

Four key buildings, treasured by the community, are at the centre of a major programme of conservation and placemaking supporting the historic centre of Girvan.

After decades of exposure to the coastal environment, the Grade I listed building is undergoing urgent conservation work to protect it for future generations.

We're supporting the next phase of heritage-inspired regeneration in one of Scotland’s most historically significant yet economically disadvantaged urban areas.

Our funding will support a council-led partnership to protect and celebrate the natural environment of one of Britain’s most important estuaries.

The project will invest in skills and capacity to research and protect the natural salt marsh and sand dune environments of the Humber Estuary.

Along a historic walking route across southeast London, this project is creating a corridor of freshwater habitats and connecting local communities with their natural heritage.

The improved historic park in the south west of Edinburgh provides vital support for the community's wellbeing.
