Are you interested in making a lasting difference for the UK’s heritage and people? We are currently looking for four committee members in Northern Ireland, at least one in Wales, one in the East Midlands and one in Yorkshire and the Humber.
Our committees meet four times a year and take decisions on requests between £100,000 and £2million. They also provide crucial local perspectives and a steer on priorities for larger grants and targeted initiative decisions which come before the UK Board. Members will have opportunities to meet inspiring people involved in projects and will also represent the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) at openings and events, acting as a champion for the value of heritage to modern life.
Individuals need to have a broad appreciation of heritage and a commitment to promoting public understanding and enjoyment of it to the widest possible audience. We are keen applicants demonstrate a thorough knowledge of local issues and an understanding of project development and delivery. We also require an ability to think strategically and to demonstrate good communication skills.
We are keen to receive applications from people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences who can demonstrate an affinity for a country or region’s diverse heritage. We welcome applications from individuals with experience of engaging Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and/or individuals with disabilities and/or young people in delivering projects or services.
