With one year to go to the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven urges local communities to apply for new Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) funding to explore the impact of the war. Following the success of its community grants programme First World War: then and now, HLF has made an additional £4million available in 2015/16 for communities looking to explore, conserve and share local heritage of the First World War. Grants are available between £3,000 to £10,000.
