We can pay for volunteer training and activities and events that help the community to get involved. A project may typically last for three years but could be anything from six months to five years.

  20. What we look for: Project Outcomes The outcomes are the difference your project will make with Heritage Lottery money. We look for the changes you will make for: • Heritage • People • Communities Outcomes we require are different for each programme.

  21. outcomes for heritage • with HLF investment, heritage will be: • heritage is better managed; • in better condition; • better interpreted and explained; and • Identified and/or recorded

  22. outcomes for people • with HLF investment, heritage will have: • learnt about heritage (weighted in all grants); • developed skills; • changed their attitude and/or behaviour; • had an enjoyable experience; and • volunteered their time

  23. outcomes for communities • with HLF investment: • environmental impacts will be reduced; • more people, and a wider range of people will have engaged with heritage; • your local area/community will be a better place to live, work or visit; • your local economy will be boosted; • your organisation will be more resilient

  24. Outcomes are only part of what we look at when we assess a bid. • We look carefully at value for money, taking into account: • why do you need HLF money and why now? • how can you show us there is a need and demand for the project? • The size of grant request and expected benefits
