Heritage Lottery Fund Consultation

The Heritage Lottery Fund has recently announced the launch of their public consultation on the future of Lottery funding for heritage from 2013-2019. The consultation is open until 26 April 2011 and you can give them your views online at http://www.hlf.org.uk/consultation2011  

The Government's announcement of an increase in Heritage Lottery Fund's share of Lottery good causes income from 16.7% to 20% by 2012-2013, amounting to around £50 million extra money a year, was an extremely welcome boost for the UK's heritage. From 2013 to 2019 they will have an annual awards budget of around £300 million.

At the same time, reductions in central Government and local authority spending mean there will be significantly less public investment in heritage across the UK during the next four years.

This is your opportunity to tell them:
what they should continue doing;
what they may need to do differently;
and what new initiatives or measures could have the greatest impact.

They will report back on what you have told them later on this year and expect to publish their strategic framework for 2013-2019 in spring 2012.
