Heritage Grants

Unfortunately, as from April 2026 we will no longer be able to offer CnES Heritage Grants.

However, it has just been announced that the Comhairle has launched a £110,000 Creative and Cultural Industries Fund for 2026/27.  One of the strands that it supports is Heritage – the others being Creative Industries, Arts and Culture, and Gaidhlig.  We would therefore encourage as many heritage groups as possible to apply to this fund.  There is a short deadline as the closing date is 5pm on 30 April.  The minimum grant is £5,000 and the maximum is £30,000.

As this scheme is not being administered by the Heritage Service, please see this link for how to apply, contact details and the guidance as it is different to the past.
