About the grants

Community Connections is a grant programme funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

We've funded wellbeing, heritage skills and nature projects that will help people connect with the free-to-enter sites in our care. The programme is focused on sites in Tyne and Wear, north Cumbria, and north Northumberland.

Projects were required to meet the Community Connections criteria and the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s investment principles.

Eligible Sites

There was one round of funding for each region in the programme. Here's a list of the funding rounds and eligible English Heritage sites in each region.
