Details

This fund is intended to fund projects, or aspects of a project, which will re-use a historic building but are hard to fund from other sources. Typically, this can be used in situations where an unexpected cost arises or emergency repairs are required. It may also be used to support meanwhile uses, or other physical enabling works that help sustain the development of a larger project.

The funder is particularly keen to hear from projects that might be aiming to create something unique and exceptional; or which involve innovative approaches with potential for replication and wider learning.

Examples of situations they would welcome a discussion about potentially supporting include:

• emergency repairs/urgent capital works/mothballing
• to prevent deterioration whilst developing longer term plans for a building
• to enable a ‘meanwhile use’ or testing of proposed longer-term use(s)
• other costs involved in enabling meanwhile uses
• uplifts needed to existing funding due to unexpected situations/increased costs
• projects involving unlisted buildings that are highly valued by local communities for their historic interest
• assisting in building the capacity of a community to deliver a project
• any other areas where their other grant funding programmes cannot currently assist
