Some examples from this month’s Digest include:

Heritage Revival Fund – the Architectural Heritage Fund

The Heritage Revival Fund has been created to help communities across England rescue and repurpose neglected historic buildings. It will do this by supporting community organisations to take ownership of, adapt and reuse the local heritage assets that matter to them, transforming them into thriving spaces that meet their needs.

NFU Mutual Charitable Trust grants

The Trust focuses on providing funding to larger initiatives, which would have a significant impact on the rural community. The Trustees are particularly interested in initiatives in the areas of education of young people in rural areas and relief of poverty within rural areas.

School funding – Universal Music UK Sound Foundation

Schools, teaching the national curriculum, can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to support music education through the purchase or upgrade of musical instruments and equipment.
