London & South

Since 1994 we have awarded almost £3.2bn to nearly 15,000 projects in London & South.

Grants for heritage

Applications are open for National Lottery Grants for Heritage from £3,000 to £5million. 

We are prioritising six outcomes for heritage projects to respond to the COVID-19 context: skills and jobs, inclusion, organisational resilience, better places, the economy and wellbeing.

Contact us

We are fully operational and open for business, but we are conducting much of our day-to-day business remotely. 

This means we are unable to access our post. In the interim, please send any items via email to your contact or to londonandsouth@heritagefund.org.uk.
