National Lottery Heritage Fund Consultants
At ASI, our Heritage Fund consultants are renowned for their hands-on, practical approach to heritage fundraising. We work closely with you to craft compelling applications and expressions of interest that stand out.
Whether you need full support at every stage — from writing the business plan to developing your delivery phase application — or just require advice and guidance on your National Lottery Heritage Fund proposal, we’re here to help.
Our Expertise
Our experienced consultants have helped raise funds for some of the most significant and iconic buildings in the UK. We’re equipped to manage complex capital fundraising campaigns requiring millions of pounds, as well as smaller, but equally vital projects.
What’s Important – Access for Everyone
At ASI, we are passionate about ensuring that the rich heritage belonging to all of us is accessible to everyone. Inclusivity is key to a successful National Lottery Heritage Fund outcome.
We understand that many people in our communities feel that historic buildings, museums, and heritage sites are “not for them.” Ironically, many of these individuals are the very ones who purchase lottery tickets, enabling the funding of heritage projects.
The National Lottery recognises this and places great emphasis on developing a business plan with a strong strategy to engage people from all backgrounds and socio-economic groups. They want to see that engagement is meaningful and not just a box-ticking exercise. Your application will need to demonstrate that partnerships have been established and that genuine community engagement is already taking place.
