Two funds, which can help restore and re-purpose industrial heritage sites, have been announced by the UK Government. Historic England will distribute the Heritage at Risk Capital Fund as in previous years. The Architectural Heritage Fund will distribute the Heritage Revival Fund in partnership with Historic England. The Heritage at Risk Capital Fund has opened for a second round. The fund prioritises projects that restore heritage sites serving disadvantaged communities and which demonstrate local benefits. Up to £15 million in funding is available this year (2026), as part of a total £75 million fund.
The Association of Independent Museums (AIM) is seeking your (Industrial Heritage) organisation’s views on the role and impact of small and medium museums across the UK, with a particular focus on their contribution to local placemaking and community life as part of a research project in partnership with Arts Council England; Culture Division, Welsh Government; and Museums Galleries Scotland. Insights from small museums such as industrial sites will help them understand the importance of museums to their localities, and to strongly advocate for this vital – often unseen – work. AIM welcomes responses from both accredited and non-accredited museums, who receive up to 50,000 visitors a year, which includes many if not most industrial heritage sites.
