Note for Editors
The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) is a fund of last resort which provides grants for buying items of outstanding interest of importance to the national heritage, which are at risk of being developed, damaged or destroyed. The NHMF is also responsible for distributing the heritage share of the National Lottery via the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The HLF gives financial help to projects which safeguard or improve access to land, buildings, objects and collections of importance to the heritage of the UK. It also supports projects which produce wider public benefits in terms of education, access and urban regeneration. Trustees may claim remuneration for their work on behalf of the NHMF.
