Past Emergency Funds Helping Heritage During COVID-19
Historic England has been working with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver funds where they are most needed across the heritage sector.
On Friday 11 December 2020, Historic England joined DCMS in marking over £1 billion spent on supporting the cultural and heritage sectors since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak.
