The grant programme, delivered by the Department for Communities, supports the repair, research and regeneration of Northern Ireland’s heritage assets including listed buildings, scheduled monuments and community heritage projects.

The Fund encourages action by third parties to realise the Department’s aim of empowering communities to enjoy and realise the wider value of our historic environment. Those that can apply to the Fund include owners of listed buildings and monuments, community and heritage organisations and district councils.

Minister Lyons said:

“I am pleased to announce this year’s funding availability for Northern Ireland’s Historic Environment, in particular, financial assistance for regeneration, research and revival activities.

“I have allocated a total of £810,000 with £500,000 already earmarked for capital repairs to 86 listed buildings. My Department is now inviting applications for regeneration, research and revival projects.

“This funding will provide vital support to work which realises the Department’s aim of helping communities to enjoy and appreciate the wider value of our historic environment.’’
