Description

Projects must address at least one of five priorities: removing a property from the Heritage at Risk register, enhancing the townscape/setting of a heritage asset, improving sustainability, creating employment or sustainable future use, or enhancing public access/interpretation.

Amount

Up to £50,000 (main grant); up to £5,000 (Development Grant)

Deadline

Rolling / no fixed deadline

Eligibility summary

  • Available in: England.
  • Most relevant to: Construction, Charity & Nonprofit, Hospitality & Tourism.
Notes
Assessed quarterly by the Grants Sub-Board — genuinely rolling with no fixed annual deadline. The £5,000 Development Grant tier is intended to help applicants prepare a stronger main-fund bid. RE-ATTEMPTED (23 Aug 2026): the officialUrl still returns a genuine 404 (WebFetch and a direct browser fetch both confirm), and gosport.gov.uk/article/1389/Grants — the council's live general 'Grants' index page — covers only traditional-shopfront restoration grants, with no mention of the Heritage Fund. However, this pass found stronger evidence the fund is still operationally alive even though its public page is gone: a council committee document titled 'Heritage Board Report 05.03.2026' (Heritage Fund Applications) is hosted live on democracy.gosport.gov.uk, and a 'Grants Sub-Board' meeting is recorded as having taken place 25/06/2026 on opencouncil.network — both consistent with the quarterly Grants Sub-Board process this entry already describes continuing into mid-2026. So the fund likely remains active, but no live public page with current application instructions could be found — verify directly via GBCgrants@gosport.gov.uk before referring users.
Requirement
Local organisation or business in Gosport with a heritage enhancement project addressing at least one of the fund's five priorities.
