UK Heritage Development Trusts Programme

Aims/priorities: The programme aims to create a UK-wide network of financially resilient organisations that revive unused buildings and support regeneration in some of the country’s most deprived places and communities.

The programme will provide funding and capacity building support to between 10 and 13 Heritage Development Trusts operating in locations of need and potential across the UK, who will join the existing group of 7 Heritage Development Trusts in England supported as part of a pilot initiative between 2020-23.

Community Radio Fund

Aims/priorities: This funding aims to support the core costs of running Ofcom-licensed community radio stations.

In addition, Community Digital Sound Programme (“C-DSP”) stations will be eligible for grants, alongside existing analogue community radio stations, if the station is broadcasting on a digital radio multiplex at the date of their application.

Hilden Charitable Fund

Aims/priorities: Hilden provides funding to organisations which demonstrate charitable purposes and awards grants to projects both in the UK and in developing countries.

In the UK, most funding goes to registered charities. Overseas projects will either work with a UK charity or show relevant legal status.

The aim of the Fund is to address disadvantage, notably by supporting causes which are unlikely to raise funds from public subscriptions. Both the UK and overseas fund policy is directed largely at supporting work at community level.
