The Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) exists to help communities find enterprising ways to revitalise the old buildings they love. Governed by a board of trustees with dedicated grants and credit panels, it supports community organisations taking on redundant or at-risk historic buildings, providing funding to help viable new uses come forward. The directory records it as a grant-making organisation, and its structure reflects both grant aid and lending alongside advice for building preservation projects.
Suitable for: charities, community groups and building preservation trusts seeking funding to rescue and reuse historic buildings.
Services: grants for heritage building projects; loans through its credit function; advice and support for community-led building regeneration; publications.
Location: London; national.
