Sharing our Annual Review is a highlight of each year, because it offers the chance to celebrate how project teams across the UK are supporting their communities and reflect on what role our brilliant team has played in enabling them. Thanks to innovative ideas, targeted support and persistent hard work, historic buildings throughout the country are reawakening - and you can read all about it in the link below. 👇 Thank you as ever to our funders, to our team and to the hundreds of project teams doing the heavy lifting out there - together, we're making the change we want to see in our historic environment, from heritage housing to sustainable retrofit to empowered communities!

📣 Big news - our Annual Review 2023-24 is out now! It’s the go-to place to learn all about our work and to see the impact that we’ve been having across the UK this year in supporting heritage and community-led regeneration. Here’s an interesting snapshot for you: during the past year, we made 16 loan offers, including extensions, totalling £3,310,434. We also made 169 grant offers across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, totalling £4,515,336. Projects featured in our latest Annual Review include a historic stone fort, an Art Deco cinema, a Victorian Market Hall and a former high street bank, all now returning to community use.
