Notes for Editors
The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) was set up by the National Heritage Act 1980 as a memorial to those who have given their lives for the United Kingdom. The NHMF serves as a fund of last resort and makes grants to acquire, maintain or preserve any land, building or structure of outstanding historic, artistic or cultural interest, which is also of importance to the national heritage. The NHMF is the parent body of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), which distributes money provided by the National Lottery to heritage projects. The work of the NHMF and the HLF is complementary, though the size of funding available from the National Lottery gives the HLF greater impact and a higher profile in the heritage sector.
Trustees may claim a daily allowance of £185.00, which is subject to income tax and NIC, for their work on behalf of the NHMF.
