Notes for Editors
The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) is a fund of last resort which provides grants for buying items which are of outstanding interest, important to the national heritage, and which are at risk of being damaged or destroyed. The NHMF is also responsible for the distribution of the heritage share of the proceeds from the National Lottery which it does via the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The HLF gives financial help to projects which safeguard improved access to land, buildings, objects and collections of importance to the national heritage of the UK. It can also provide support for projects which produce wider public benefits in terms of education, access and urban regeneration.
