Description

As part of our planning for the period of our next strategic plan (2019 onwards) we would like to commission consultants with experience of social research and the culture sector to help us with the delivery of a public consultation on HLF's future strategy. The consultation is currently due to run from January - March 2018. Consultation aims to support HLF to better understand the stakeholder response to proposals in order to identify further opportunities and risk areas, as well as to start to build support. Through the consultation we will:
• Communicate proposals for National Lottery funding for heritage for 2019-2024, including potential changes from the current position.
• Engage stakeholders with direction of travel and gain an understanding of their views on proposals.
• Identify key areas of opportunity and risk to feed into further development of proposals
• Use consultation feedback to develop strategic framework proposals that will win broad endorsement from stakeholders

The target audience for this consultation is organisations who are:
• Heritage sector stakeholders, including:
o umbrella organisations;
o individual organisations; and
o strategic agencies.
• Public sector stakeholders including local authorities
• Broader VCS stakeholders with UK, country or regional remit
• Church organisations and other faith-based groups
• Private sector organisations engaged with heritage
• Stakeholders related to the key HLF policy areas, eg. place, resilience, inclusion, digital, well-being, housing.
• Other funders and investment partners
• Applicants and grantees
• Non-applicant groups - focus on ensuring heritage is more inclusive

The report from the consultation will be used by HLF staff to inform the development of the framework for National Lottery funding for heritage for 2019-2024.
We are looking for the consultation to give us endorsement of specific proposals for change; a steer on priorities and issues around direction and balance of funding (where there is a range of possible responses); and feedback on any other issues of importance on which consultees would wish us to take action.
