Had a request to send this round:
Hi all,
Heritage Lottery Fund are reviewing their funding and preparing a new strategic plan and urgently want more views on supporting the natural environment and biodiversity. Deadline for feedback is 26th April 2011. Unlike many organisations HLF is in the fairly unique position of having extra funding from 2013 - amounting to £300m per year until 2019. They invest in the protection and conservation of both the build and natural environment – including in projects to protect biodiversity. So far they have had proportionately fewer responses from individuals and organisations interested in biodiversity and environment.
Please do share this request with other key stakeholders and help the HLF look at their approach to supporting the environment in the years ahead. There are two questionnaires available on-line. If you work within the heritage sector or community organisations in a professional capacity and would like to contribute to the full consultation, please fill in the longer questionnaire. If you want to express your personal views on HLF funding in the future, please fill in the less detailed public questionnaire. http://www.hlf.org.uk/aboutus/whatwedo/Pages/Consultationonourstrategicframeworkfor20132019.aspx (link needs copying and pasting into web browser)
