We are currently seeking to appoint at least two new trustees to join our Board, including a Chair of the AHF’s Credit Panel. This is an exciting time to join AHF, following a period of expansion over the last few years, including the recently announced £5m Heritage Revival Fund, and as we head towards our 50th Anniversary in 2026.
Founded in 1976, AHF is the UK’s leading social investor in heritage-led regeneration, putting sustainable heritage at the heart of vibrant local economies. We fund charities and social enterprises across the UK to reuse historic buildings for a variety of new uses, particularly in areas of economic disadvantage. AHF works across all four nations of the UK offering advice, grants, loans and other forms of social investment to organisations seeking to reuse historic buildings for community benefit.
In the last three years, AHF has awarded 645 grants and loans and a total of £23 million in new investment into heritage projects across the UK. This is a unique opportunity to join an ambitious organisation that plays a unique and long-standing role in place and heritage-led regeneration.
