Heritage Lottery Fund - Resilient Heritage Programme Evaluation

DC Research is delighted to be carrying out the Resilient Heritage Programme Evaluation on behalf of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the evaluation runs throughout 2018 and 2019, and is due to be completed early in 2020.

Resilient Heritage was a grants programme of between £3,000 and £250,000 to help strengthen organisations, build staff and volunteer capacity, and better manage heritage in the long term. The programme aimed to support organisations to increase their capacity and capability or to undertake a significant programme of organisational change to become more resilient.

The evaluation will assess the impact of Resilient Heritage funding on increasing grantees capacity, capability and overall resilience, as well as looking at the benefits of the Resilient Heritage Strength Checker. It will include the production of reports and case studies telling the story of Resilient Heritage grantee organisations – outlining their experiences, tracking their story from pre-grant position to final achievements and impacts, as well as identifying lessons for other heritage organisations.

The reports from the evaluation are available via: https://www.heritagefund.org.uk/publications/resilient-heritage-programme-evaluation
