SECTORS

The National Lottery Heritage Fund distribute Lottery funding to restore, preserve and invest in sustainable futures for heritage.  The Directors of HERA Regeneration have been working with the National Lottery Heritage Fund (formerly HLF)  since 2001 across the whole spectrum of heritage, from public parks, the restoration and repair of Castles and Cathedrals to museums, art galleries and their interpretation, to the restoration of steam boats, lighthouses and bridges.

Our role involves providing expert advice, monitoring and mentor services for a wider range of grants programmes, including Parks for People, Heritage Grants, Townscape Heritage and Townscape Heritage Initiatives, and Landscape Partnerships.  

We also advise on the Heritage Enterprise Grant (HEG) programme, providing development viability appraisals that help establish 'Conservation Deficit'.

HERA directors work across the United Kingdom from Glasgow to Folkestone, to Newcastle, Swansea and Whitehaven.

HERA can help assess and demonstrate the relative economic impact and operational sustainability of a project - or various options or iterations of a project - which is a vital component of any public investment decision.  HERA have developed a range of appraisal techniques and modelling services to support this process and have extensive knowledge and expertise of this area of work.

All our work has elements of Regeneration at its core, with the wider economic, physical and social impact of restoration schemes, new housing developments, and industrial units, all directly impacting on an area, and the people around it.  HERA work across all regeneration sectors, working with public, private, voluntary and community organisations, to maximise the impact and benefit of their project, and strive to bring greater benefits to the wider community, leaving a lasting impact.

The Arts Council England invest significantly in the capital infrastructure of Theatres, Museums and Galleries.  The Directors of HERA Regeneration have been engaged from the start of the ACE Capital Programme launched in 2011 and have been actively involved in the provision of capital construction expert advice to projects in each of the capital programme rounds since the inception of this investment programme.
