12 towns and cities to benefit from programme to bring disused heritage buildings back to life.

Inner City Trust is one of 12 UK organisations to receive support as part of a new partnership between the National Lottery Heritage Fund and charity the Architectural Heritage Fund.

The 12 organisations will receive funding to scale up their operations to repair, restore and re-use at-risk buildings in their local areas. Guidance from consultants and mentors will aid their skills and knowledge development, alongside peer-to-peer support to expand their networks.

The £5 million fund expands on the Architectural Heritage Fund’s Heritage Development Trust model across the UK following the success of a pilot programme in England.
