All Our Stories - Heritage Lottery Fund

The Heritage Lottery Fund has launched a new £1million small grants programme All Our Stories. The programme will provide grants of £3,000 - £10,000 to support charities, community groups and heritage organisations running local history projects.

The programme will support the following activities to explore and learn more about heritage:

• Visits to places like historic buildings, landscapes, parks, burial grounds, museums, archaeological sites or industrial heritage sites like railways

• Using collections like archives, libraries and museums, including collections held by people in the community

• Talking to people who know about heritage or holding workshops, talks and sessions exploring people’s memories

• Recording things like people’s memories or local wildlife; scanning old photographs and documents; archaeological digs or surveying historic buildings.

All Our Stories has been developed in support of the BBC’s The Great British Story – A People’s History, which is a new series to be broadcast on BBC two.

You need to register your organisation on the Heritage Lottery Fund website to access the online application materials.
