Groups urged to apply for Heritage Lottery funding
The Heritage Lottery Fund supports projects across the UK that focus not just on the events of 1914-1918 but also on the lasting changes the war brought about.
At least £1m a year will be available until 2019 as part of the ‘First World War: then and now programme’ for small, community grants.
