Architectural Heritage Fund: Support Officer - Northern Ireland

This new role has been created to lead on the delivery of AHF’s Growing Community Enterprise Through Heritage project in Northern Ireland. The project’s objectives are to:

Provide more opportunities for voluntary sector groups to develop and secure capital funding for projects which will result in the acquisition and economically sustainable re-use of historic buildings, particularly in deprived communities

Inspire new community start-ups in historic buildings, particularly in areas where there are low levels of social enterprise activity

Champion and showcase community enterprise through heritage in Northern Ireland.                                                                                                                                     

The Support Officer role will be launched alongside a new small capacity-building grants programme (Project Viability Grants and Project Development Grants) targeted at priority projects which have the greatest potential to deliver sustainable community business uses within historic buildings. This combination of hands-on support and seed funding will help community enterprises set off on the right path and attract investment.
