We’ve received the excellent news that the Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded us £963,000, the full amount we applied for. This is a massive step forward for the project. We still need to raise matched funding. A crucial requirement for the HLF application is that we secure a significant amount of matched funding, some local fund-raising, but in the main this refers to grants and donations from charities, trusts and the like that support heritage projects. As you can imaging money is in pretty short supply and several bodies to which we were going to apply have closed or suspended their programmes, at least for this year. So we still have a lot of work ahead.
