Projects we’ve funded

The Kennet and Avon canal benefited from one of our biggest grants - £25million - to restore and protect the 200-year-old waterway.

Snailbeach Lead Mine is one of a series of mines that make up South Shropshire Orefield.

Funding was granted towards this integrated management and action programme for the South Pennine Moors Natural Area.

The project focused on restoring the landscape of Tollcross Park in Glasgow.

Our funding supported the creation of a new 10,000sqm wing to showcase contemporary science and technology themes.

The wider community was involved in this project to uncover the natural and archaeological heritage of Heaton Woods, an area of ancient semi-natural woodland.

The project was the second and final phase of the Manningham Pilot Conservation Area Partnership.

Historic buildings and streets in Bradford City Centre Conservation Area were the focus of this project.

Considered to be Cardiff’s historic heart the Castle is one of the major visitor destinations in Wales and since its extensive restoration visitor numbers have grown from 170,000 per annum to more than a quarter of a million.

This project involved the set-up and opening of a new Museum in the Docklands, West India Quay.

The project helped improve access to the Grade A listed building that houses a regional museum for the County of Armagh.
