The government has announced a call for evidence on the roles and responsibilities of the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) and Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The government writes:
This forms part of a review on how the organisations carry out their roles in supporting the heritage sector and how HLF operates in distributing funding to heritage projects across the UK.
The review will also consider how NHMF and HLF engage with the public and work with partners across the country. Heritage, natural environment and other cultural organisations, as well as members of the public, are invited to submit their views over the next six weeks.
Every government-sponsored public body is reviewed at least once in each Parliament to ensure it is fit for purpose and provides good value for money. The National Heritage Memorial Fund review Challenge Panel, made up of stakeholders and experts in the sector, is chaired by DCMS Non-Executive Director Charles Alexander. The review is expected to be completed in summer 2017.
