9. Outcomes for HERITAGE In better condition Better managed
Identified/recorded
Better interpreted and explained
Through our funding we want to help sustain and transform the UK’s heritage. Projects we’ve supported have rescued thousands of buildings and places from decay. They have breathed new life into neglected collections, parks and landscapes. And they’ve inspired communities to record and celebrate their stories.
Outcomes for HERITAGE
In better condition
Better managed
Identified/recorded
Better interpreted and explained

10. Outcomes for PEOPLE Changed their attitudes and/or behaviour
Developed skills
Had an enjoyable experience
Learnt about heritage
Volunteered time
PoW images needed here – I will see what I have.
We believe that people from all communities should be able to see their heritage reflected in our national story. The projects we fund inspire people to learn and get involved with heritage. They help people find fulfilling volunteer roles and develop skills, and create thousands of opportunities for an enjoyable day out.
Outcomes for PEOPLE
Changed their attitudes and/or behaviour
Developed skills
Had an enjoyable experience
Learnt about heritage
Volunteered time
Don’t underestimate the value of the ‘enjoyable experience’ outcome – this is not just about your audience but about you and your staff/volunteers too!

11. Outcomes for COMMUNITIES
Negative environmental impacts will be reduced
More people and a wider range of people will have engaged with heritage
Your local area will be a better place to live, work or visit
Your local economy will be boosted
Your organisation will be more resilient
Some of the communities outcomes are a little more challenging because they are actually impacts (longer term) but they can be addressed with a little thought. Heritage projects can re-energise neglected areas, creating vibrant places to live and work. And they can foster a real sense of community.
Many groups think that ‘more and wider’ is difficult – but actually it is just about changing the audience profile and inviting new people in, which seems like a good idea in terms of mission surely! Who doesn’t currently visit your place of worship? How can you make contact with them and show them what they might get from a visit to your PoW? Not about quantity – more about quality and making a genuine difference!

They will also be able to tell you what they are doing with that knowledge and understanding; such as, sharing it with other people, using it in their professional or social life, or undertaking further study.
