The fund was set up to help community groups take control of buildings at risk of being lost and bring them back to life for the benefit of local people. These latest awards mean that, in total, 409 projects across the UK have received support from the COF, 76 (or 19%) of which have also benefitted from the Architectural Heritage Fund\u2019s (AHF) early-stage advice and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this final batch of grants, specifically, a total of 85 projects were awarded COF funding. This includes 15 projects that have previously received support from the AHF; these projects, listed below, have collectively been awarded \u00a35,885,411 through Round Four of the COF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>England<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cleeve Prior Community Pub Limited, Evesham, Worcestershire \u2013 Cleeve Prior Community Pub Limited<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elmfield Hall, Accrington, Lancashire \u2013 Community Solutions North West Ltd<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mercer Hall, Blackburn, Lancashire &#8211; Hyndburn Leisure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>St Just Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, St Ives, Cornwall \u2013 St Just Miners\u2019 Chapel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Haven, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex &#8211; Age Concern Southend-on-Sea CIO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Ladder, Redruth, Cornwall \u2013 Redruth Library CIC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Balmacara Old Mill Hall, Highland \u2013 Balmacara Community Trust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bellfield, Portobello, Edinburgh \u2013 Action Porty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Norton Park Conference and Meeting Centre, Edinburgh \u2013 Norton Park SCIO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>St Margaret\u2019s Church, Braemar, Aberdeenshire \u2013 Historic Churches Scotland<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>St Rollox House, Glasgow &#8211; Saheliya<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Pipe Factory, Glasgow \u2013 Friends of The Pipe Factory CIC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tafarn y Plu, Llanystumdwy, Gwynedd \u2013 Menter y Plu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Linen Rooms Lisburn \u2013 R-Space Gallery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Old St Malachy\u2019s Convent School Community &amp; Heritage Centre, Belfast &#8211; Market Development Belfast Ltd<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/6156ec77fa61\/ahf-news-tracker?e=f149858017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Architectural Heritage Fund(AHF) has reported on Government awards from the final round of its Community Ownership Fund (COF) for 15 AHF-supported projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[48,6,40,18,62,29,214],"class_list":["post-41981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog","tag-architecture","tag-building","tag-community","tag-conservation","tag-funding","tag-heritage","tag-uk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41981"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41982,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41981\/revisions\/41982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
