Cultural Protection Fund's 10th Anniversary

Celebrating 10 years of the Cultural Protection Fund

June 2026 will mark a decade since the Cultural Protection Fund was first launched as the UK's main response to international cultural heritage protection. 

To date, CPF has awarded over £56 million in 160 projects in 20 countries enabling organisations and communities to protect, document, and conserve culturally significant sites, objects, and traditions.  

We will be celebrating our work to safeguard heritage at risk from conflict and climate change through a series of events, publications and other engagement activities.
