Heritage package helps over 100

More than 100 organisations across Scotland have shared a £6.4 million fund as part of an emergency support package for the heritage sector. The money raised from the National Lottery aims to help tackle pressures faced by organisations most affected by Covid-19.

The Heritage Emergency Fund was set up at speed in late April, with grants going towards costs including core staff, essential maintenance and utility costs, and safe reopening. It saved many organisations from permanent closure.
