We are an independent charity that raises funds for outstanding heritage projects.
With the support of generous funders and individuals, we build on the work of Historic England, the public body that helps people care for, enjoy and celebrate the history that surrounds us.
We fund projects that improve people's lives and protect the historic environment, but can't be funded by government alone, from small and innovative pilot schemes to major national interventions.
We raised over £1 million to restore Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, the 'grandparent of the skyscraper'.
We've funded the digitisation and conservation of historically important photographs in the Historic England Archive and made them available to everyone online.
We've enabled funding for a major training and apprenticeship programme to save endangered heritage building skills.

From saving neglected buildings to enabling people of all ages to learn about our shared heritage, together we can protect the nation’s treasured places and look after England’s past and future.
