Dear Mr Powell,
Petition: A Permanent Memorial to Wales’s Workers
Thank you for your recent letter dated 31st October 2012 outlining the Petitions Committee’s view of urging the Welsh Government to fund a permanent workers memorial to mark the lives of the many who have died at work.
There are four main organisations in Wales that distribute funds from the National Lottery: Big Lottery Fund, Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts Council and Sports Wales. Each has its own programme and funding priorities.
At the Big Lottery Fund our grant programmes aim to improve communities and the lives of people most in need. We want to support projects that develop people's skills, promote community involvement and encourage healthier lifestyles. We can fund the community, voluntary, public and private sector through our various grant programmes. www.biglotteryfund.org.uk
From the information you have provided I would suggest contacting Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). HLF sustains a wide range of heritage projects for present and future generations to enjoy. From museums, parks and historic places to archaeology, natural environment and cultural traditions, they invest in each part of our diverse heritage. Their grant-giving aims relate to Learning, Conservation and Participation. www.hlf.org.uk
The workers memorial may fit with their aims and they can be contacted on 020 7591 6042 or by post at HeritageLottery Fund, 9 Museum Place, Cardiff, CF1 3NX.
If you require any further information please feel free to contact us.
Yours Sincerely
John Rose
Cyfarwyddwr Cymru/ Director for Wales
