What we will assess
• Value for money - overall benefits of the project in relation to the grant request
And how your application shows that the project:• Has a clear heritage focus• Meets our outcomes for heritage, people and communities • Is an appropriate response to a need or opportunity• Is financially realistic and has a clear need for lottery funding• Is well planned and managed• Will be delivered by an organisation capable of completing the
project
Common pitfalls in projects
The project has no heritage focus
Project has already started
Project delivers what could be considered ‘everyday work’ of an organisation
Project is too ambitious for the organisation
High costs of maintaining the heritage/benefits after project completion
Not enough partnership funding
No activities to engage people/communities
