Heritage Lottery consultation

The Heritage Alliance submitted its response to the DCMS’ Lottery Good Causes consultation, which you can view on their website.

Their comments included “The heritage sector faces an ongoing funding and maintenance crisis. A report has identified a £7 billion repair and maintenance backlog in public and third-sector heritage. A third of organisations reported they cannot adequately look after the heritage in their care.” and ” The National Lottery’s contribution rests on the principle that it does not substitute direct government funding.”
