Since 1994 we have awarded over £1.8bn to 11,000 projects across the North.

The birthplace of the industrial revolution, the North of England is a rich canvas of diverse communities and stunning landscapes, buzzing with thousands of years of history.

The North of England has so much to offer, from the cityscapes of Manchester, to the stunning views of the Yorkshire Dales, the cultural history of Liverpool, through to the Lake District's natural beauty. We proudly support our communities to protect and celebrate the region’s irreplaceable heritage.
