Heritage and place research

We are looking to commission research that informs how The Fund delivers on its strategic objective to "demonstrate how heritage helps people and places to thrive", through our approach to our open grants programme and strategic funding (e.g. campaigns, bid solicitation, Areas of Focus). Findings must be consistent with the Fund's strategic focus and capacity, and reflect the unique nature of the Fund's heritage remit as an Arm's Length Body (ALB) and distributor of Lottery Funds. The aim of this research is to understand how the evidence on place based funding can inform The National Lottery Heritage Fund's approach to meeting its strategic objective to demonstrate how heritage helps people and places to thrive.
