The minimum amount of grant is £5million with no upper limit on how much can be 
applied for. A total of £50m is available in the first year of the Awards (2020-
2021). An Expression of Interest form must be submitted by 11 October 2019.

 National Lottery Heritage Fund CEO Ros Kerslake said:

>  “This year we’re celebrating the 25th year of The National Lottery. We are tremendously
> excited about the next 25 years and this £100m is a hugely important step on that
> journey.”
>  “It is no secret that demand for National Lottery funding for good 
> causes far exceeds available funding and we thought long and hard about whether
> we could continue to invest in such large-scale projects. “When we consulted it
> was clear to us that if we stopped, it is unlikely that anyone else would be able
> to step in, and major, transformative heritage projects simply would not happen.”
