Outcomes – for heritage, for people, for society •We describe the differences that we want to make to heritage, people and communities as ‘outcomes.’ •Your project does not need to contribute towards all of them. Many different combinations of outcomes can make a successful application. •We will consider the quality of the outcomes that your project will achieve, which means that contributing towards more will not necessarily make your application stronger.

What difference will your project make for people? This could include: • Projects which encourage people to be trained in new skills • Projects which have created volunteering opportunities • Projects which set up a new Friends group • Projects which provide information to help people learn about the heritage • Projects which give people an enjoyable experience

What difference will your project make for communities? This could include: • Projects which have created activities for new and existing audiences • Projects which make your local area a better place to live, work or visit

When assessing your application, we will consider the following: - What is the heritage focus of the project? - What is the need or opportunity that the project is responding to? - Why does the project need to go ahead now and why is Lottery funding needed? - What outcomes will the project achieve? - Does the project offer value for money? - Is the project well planned and financially realistic? - Will the outcomes be sustained after the project has ended?
