The Heritage Revival Fund has been created to help communities across England rescue and repurpose neglected historic buildings. It does this by supporting community organisations to take ownership of, adapt and reuse the local heritage assets that matter to them, transforming them into thriving spaces that meet their needs.
This programme is focused on regenerating historic buildings in town centre locations.
The Architectural Heritage Fund are currently offering grants of up to £20,000 to support early-stage work on historic building projects.
These grants should help you to establish whether a project is viable. Work will probably focus on understanding the condition of the building, how it might be used, and whether that intended use is appropriate for the building and likely to be sustainable.
Grant size: Up to £20,000
Match-funding: Preferred, but not essential
Length: Up to one year
Location: Priority will be given to historic buildings in towns across England, especially in deprived areas
Organisation type: Charities and not-for-profit organisations, including social enterprises
Grants are available for charities who are working with vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
Grants are available to VCSE organisations to run projects for children and young people (25 or under) to make music activity more inclusive and foster learning, creation and employment opportunities.
Funding for VCSE organisations to deliver politically neutral, place based activities that help people understand, engage with, and participate in democracy.
