Heritage Stimulus Fund and the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage
Historic England is distributing over £138 million to organisations in England, part of £1.57 billion to safeguard cultural and heritage organisations from the economic impact of COVID-19. Funds are being distributed through the Heritage Stimulus Fund and the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage, administered with partners National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Historic England has been working collaboratively with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and other arms-length bodies, including Arts Council England (ACE) and National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) on the investment package which will help to secure a sustainable future for the heritage sector and those working in it, as a key part of our national cultural life. The vital funding stream for heritage sites is boosting local economies by funding urgent conservation work, repairs and adaptation of a broad range of locally-loved historic buildings and places, where support is most needed. The four core areas of the funding are: Repair Grants for Heritage at Risk, Grants Programme for Major Works, COVID-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund, and Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage. In January 2021, a second round of the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage opened for applications, with a further £36 million available in grants to support heritage organisations across England survive the on-going impact of COVID-19 through April to June. |
