This is reflected in the outcomes for heritage, people and communities which underpin our grant-making. Our current strategic framework runs until 2019, and we are beginning to plan our strategic priorities for the period beyond that to 2024. Although we believe there is much that is very positive to take forward from our current framework, we do want to refresh our approach to funding, and to check that it matches the expectations Lottery players have of us. We want our new strategy to set a bold and ambitious direction for our future funding and to be underpinned by an agreed vision that puts the public at the heart of what we do, and is based on the notion of heritage as a force for social good. As preparation for introducing and testing this new framework and vision, we want to listen to the views of the Lottery playing public and discuss what they see as the priorities for using the income generated for the heritage ‘good cause’ through the National Lottery. Although we have carried out some work of this kind in the past, most recently through the 20 years in 12 places research we carried out in 2014/15, this will be the first time we have explicitly linked public consultation to the preparation of a new strategic plan. The results from the 20 years in 12 places research can be found on our website, along with the other social benefit research reports we have produced. Respondents to this brief should use this work to inform their proposed approach.
