**Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage has been awarded £225,100 from the Heritage Lottery
Fund to extend its capacity building programme so that it runs for a fourth year.**

The original three-year initiative was developed to help Scotland’s heritage sector
develop long-term financial security. The training has been used by 450 people from
over 300 organisations within the heritage sector.
[Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage](http://www.resourcingscotlandsheritage.org/)(
RSH) will now continue to deliver sector specific training until the end of March
2018.

RSH Project Manager Louise Downing said:

> “The first two years have gone extremely well, exceeding all expectations. Meeting
> our original target of delivering training to 450 individuals within three years,
> a year ahead of schedule, is testament to the demand from within the heritage 
> sector for the expertise RSH can share.”

RSH is a sector-wide partnership led by [Arts & Business Scotland](http://www.aandbscotland.org.uk)
with Archaeology Scotland, Built Environment Forum Scotland, greenspace Scotland
and Museums Galleries Scotland. It was launched in June 2014, funded by the Heritage
Lottery Fund’s Catalyst scheme enabling it to deliver a programme of accessible 
training courses, inspirational expert led events, networking opportunities and 
develop online information and resources.

 The additional funding will allow for the continuation of the fundraising training
and capacity building programme, and include new elements such as the creation of
an online digital publication and networking events for trustees of heritage groups
and organisations.

Similar fundraising training and capacity building for heritage organisations has
been extended by HLF for a year in [England and Wales](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/03/24/giving-heritage-training-programme-run-year/)
and [Northern Ireland](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/04/29/hlf-extends-fundraising-programme/).
