Description

The Architectural Heritage Fund supports charities, social enterprises and community organisations working to rescue, adapt and regenerate historic buildings for sustainable new uses. The organisation provides grants, advice and loan support for projects that deliver long term social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits through heritage.

Funding is particularly focused on community ownership, heritage at risk, town centre regeneration and projects that bring vacant or underused historic buildings back into active use. The fund supports early stage project development, feasibility studies, conservation planning, business planning and capital works associated with sustainable heritage regeneration.

The Architectural Heritage Fund places strong emphasis on community participation, local resilience, environmental sustainability and the creation of viable long term uses for historic buildings.
