New Heritage Funding Programme

All Our Stories will make available grants ranging from £3,000 - £10,000. From researching local historic landmarks, learning more about customs and traditions to delving into archives and finding out the origins of street and place names - this new programme will give everyone the chance to explore their heritage and share what they learn with others.

HLF has developed All Our Stories in support of the BBC’s The Great British Story – A People’s History. Presented by Michael Wood, the new series will be broadcast on BBC Two. All Our Stories will also feature in five BBC Learning events at flagship heritage locations, which will be run in tandem with the TV series, to get people involved with their local heritage.

Applications will be accepted from a wide range of organisations including community groups, heritage organisations and charities. The application process is simple: 

    Go to the All Our Stories programme page
    Enter the details of your organisation
    Answer a series of simple questions including, what you want to do, how you will do it and how much money you will require.

Applications need to be submitted online by 31 July 2012 and applicants will receive a decision by October 2012.
