The Heritage Lottery Fund supports projects across the UK that focus not just on the events of 1914-1918 but also on the lasting changes the war brought about.

At least £1m a year will be available until 2019 as part of the ‘First World War: then and now programme’ for small, community grants.

It provides grants of £3,000 to £10,000 for groups to explore, conserve and share their First World War heritage and deepen their understanding of the impact of the conflict.

Ms Dinenage said: ‘I’m delighted that the Heritage Lottery Fund is making this money available to local communities.

‘Since they began in 1994, they have given £9,758,461 in grants to projects in Gosport.

‘For those who want to find out more about its legacy or who wish to mark the centenary, I would urge them to get in touch with Heritage Lottery Fund.’ Visit hlf.org.uk/ThenAndNow for more.
