The Cultural Recovery Fund for Heritage is being administered by both the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England.

Leaders from these arms-length-bodies are in constant communication with DCMS and we work collaboratively to ensure that deadlines and workload are appropriate for the resource in each team. We are confident that decisions will be communicated to grant applicants in a timely way.
