3. Outcomes – A lasting difference for heritage and people
We describe the differences that we want to make to heritage, people and communities as ‘Outcomes’

Heritage Enterprise - Heritage-based regeneration programme to support the repair, adaptation and refurbishment of historic buildings and sites - responds to challenging economic conditions and changing public policy across the UK.
Focus on
Single buildings, groups of buildings, historic sites in areas experiencing economic disadvantage
Bringing buildings back to sustainable use – therefore an end use must be identified. This could be commercial or social enterprise, i.e. some income generation
The scheme will be aimed towards community groups and social enterprises, working in partnership with the private sector and local authorities in larger schemes. Priority will be given to applications from not-for-profit organisations. Private sector organisations will only be eligible as minority partners in a partnership that is led by a not-for-profit group.
applications under the programme will need to demonstrate heritage value and economic need, but designation will not be a requirement
Applications for the new programme will be clearly distinguished from those for Heritage Grants in terms of different criteria, processes and outcomes, but in all other respects they will be the same. Grant thresholds, partnership funding requirements and the two-round process will be standardised with Heritage Grants.
the programme will include new features of ‘meanwhile uses’ and ‘start-up grants’
