Heritage Lottery Funding Available to Mark Centenary of First World War

23/8/2013

With a year to go until we mark the centenary of the First World War, the Heritage Lottery Fund is making grants available to community projects encouraging people to learn more about the conflict.   

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) is making at least £1 million per year (until 2019) available as part of the First World War: then and now programme for small, community grants.  It will provide grants of £3,000-£10,000, enabling groups right across the UK to explore, conserve and share their First World War heritage and deepen their understanding of the impact of the conflict.


Successful projects might include:

  • Researching, identifying and recording local heritage
  • Creating a community archive or collection
  • Developing a new interpretation of heritage through exhibitions, trails, smartphone apps etc
  • Researching, writing and performing creative material based on heritage sources
  • Conserving and finding out more about  war memorials

I'm delighted that the HLF is making this money available to local communities.  Like Many areas across the UK, the impact of the First World War on the people of Lewisham Deptford was extensive.  For those who want to find out more about its legacy or who wish to mark the centenary, I would urge them to get in touch with the HLF.

If your group has a project idea to mark the centenary, the online application pack is available at www.hlf.org.uk/ThenAndNow.
