Championing the historic environment and understanding the value of heritage.
Scotland is renowned for the quality and diversity of its historic environment and it represents one of Scotland’s most valuable assets.
Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage
BEFS is a partner in the Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage initiative which provides training in fundraising and capacity building, tailored to the heritage sector. In the first two years this Heritage Lottery funded project reached 566 individuals in 393 heritage groups and organisations, through 78 training events. The project seeks to equip people working within Scotland’ heritage sector with the skills they need to generate income from private sources.
