In a major boost that puts heritage at the heart of community renewal, the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) has announced the launch of a £5 million Heritage Revival Fund.
This exciting programme, delivered in partnership with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Historic England, is set to help communities across England rescue and repurpose neglected historic buildings. It will do this by supporting community organisations to take ownership of historic buildings, transforming them into vibrant spaces that meet modern needs.
Having supported hundreds of communities across England to save and reuse local heritage buildings, the AHF is delighted to renew its partnership with DCMS for this new fund, which is part of the government’s wider £270 million investment in arts and culture. Thanks to Historic England’s support, the programme will also support new projects just getting started on work to take ownership of, adapt and reuse beloved local heritage.
This programme will focus on regenerating historic buildings in town centre locations.
It will do 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.
