Funding success for heritage and history applications
ELEVEN Scots organisations are sharing, between them, just over £3.5m, awarded by the Scottish Government agency, Historic Environment Scotland.
Says HES, here: “Designed to support a relatively small number of Third Sector organisations, the new fund is available to organisations with established activities closely aligned with HES strategic priorities. This includes projects which have a positive national impact for Scotland’s historic environment or the historic environment sector.”
Among the recipients are the National Trust for Scotland, Keep Scotland Beautiful and the Scottish Civic Trust.
