- The National Lottery Heritage Fund invests heavily in projects that preserve history and strengthen local pride.
- £675m went to over 3,500 heritage sites during the pandemic to help them survive tough times.
- New 10-year plan targets big changes in places like Yorkshire by linking heritage to jobs, nature, and community life.
Eilish McGuinness explains how National Lottery Heritage Fund money is transforming Yorkshire communities through heritage projects. These investments preserve historic sites while building local confidence and economic growth. It matters because heritage isn't just about old buildings - it creates jobs, connects people, and makes places better to live in.
