About The National Lottery Heritage Fund
The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK’s heritage. Using money raised by National Lottery players we support projects that connect people and communities to heritage.
Our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future. That’s why as the largest funder for the UK’s heritage we are dedicated to supporting projects that connect people and communities to heritage, as set out in our strategic plan, Heritage 2033. Heritage can be anything from the past that people value and want to pass on to future generations. We believe in the power of heritage to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to the past.
Over the next ten years, we aim to invest £3.6 billion raised for good causes by National Lottery players to make a decisive difference for people, places.

The Black Heritage NI: Hidden History Project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to take an in-depth look at the hidden contributions made by Black people to Northern Ireland.
Our project aims to mainstream Black history in Northern Ireland and emphasise local stories of Black people and highlight the contributions Black people have made to everyday life. The project aims to use a global lens to connect the history of Northern Ireland to the history of slavery, colonialism, segregation and black innovation.
