Parks for People ~ programme features
• HLF interested in cemeteries as designed landscapes, rather than funding organically developed churchyards.
• HLF can fund work to privately owned memorials but it can’t be the main focus of the project
• Can’t just restore a historic chapel in the centre of the site; should still take a master plan approach and incorporate a variety of capital work and activities.
• How to offer good quality activities and public spaces with limited amenities, and without offending sensitivities?
Key Issues for Cemeteries
We describe the differences that we want to make to heritage, people and communities as ‘outcomes.’
Projects need to achieve all ten outcomes. We anticipate that your project will contribute to some more than others.
Heritage will be:
better managed (weighted)➜ in better condition➜ better interpreted and explained➜ better identified and recorded➜
We value the ‘weighted’ outcomes the most
Parks for People Outcomes
People will have:
Developed skills (weighted)➜ Learned about heritage➜ Volunteered time➜
For communities:
The local area/community will be a better place to work, live or visit ➜(weighted)
Negative environmental impacts will be reduced➜ More people and a wider range of people will have engaged with ➜
heritage
Outcomes will be assessed in these three groupings.
Parks for People Outcomes
• Developing skills • Demonstrating the difference funding will make• Master plan for the whole site – long term vision• Delivering the project at the right time (why now?)• Long term management and maintenance resources• Consultation - strong stakeholder / community
