Thank you to Footprint’s Supporters
The National Lottery Heritage Fund
The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. The Footprint Project was made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and we are deeply grateful for their transformative support. Thanks to the Heritage Fund’s remarkable generosity, Bath Abbey has transformed its hospitality, accessibility, flexibility, and sustainability – and secured its future ministry for generations to come.
We are delighted that we have been able to support Bath Abbey to safeguard this remarkable Grade I listed building. Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, a grant of nearly £11million has enabled extensive restoration of the Abbey, as well as the creation of a new Discovery Centre. Together with an ambitious outreach programme of learning and engagement, the renewal of the Abbey will ensure this important heritage site will resonate with the community and beyond for years to come.
