Rebuilding Heritage

Rebuilding Heritage was a UK-wide free support programme, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to help the heritage sector respond to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It aimed to build confidence in a time of crisis by supporting individuals and organisations to overcome immediate challenges and plan for a sustainable future.

The programme launched in September 2020.
The ‘open to all’ and ‘by application’ support strands are now closed but resources remain available on this website.
