This week the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has been promoting the work carried out using National Lottery funding, with a major campaign encouraging the public to ‘just imagine life without National Lottery Funding’

Since the first Lottery draw 20 years ago this year, the National Lottery has raised a staggering £31billion for life changing projects across the UK, including £5.9billion for Heritage!
To highlight the difference this money makes to real people and projects a short animated film, narrated by Ricky Tomlinson and starring Ricky, Chris Hoy and Beth Tweddle will be launched on 28 April. The film connects people and projects across the UK and asks the nation to imagine what life would be like without Lottery funding.
All this project funding couldn’t happen without National Lottery players and hopefully you’ll be surprised, amazed and inspired by the brilliant things that they’ve contributed to.
Follow the campaign hashtag #JustImagine and join in the discussions on Twitter.
