Mae Cronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri (CDL) yn ymgynghori ar ei rôl, ei gweledigaeth a'i blaenoriaethau cyllido ar gyfer y pum mlynedd nesaf. Mae cyfle unigryw wedi codi i bawb sy’n ymddiddori a gofalu am dreftadaeth eithriadol y DU i fynegi eu barn ar gynlluniau’r Gronfa ar gyfer y dyfodol. Mae’r Gronfa yn cefnogi prosiectau sy'n amrywio o adfer tirweddau naturiol i achub adeiladau sydd wedi'u hesgeuluso; o gofnodi hanes cymunedol amrywiol i ddarparu hyfforddiant sy'n newid bywydau. Rydyn ni’n awr eisiau clywed beth mae pobl yn credu y dylai ein rôl, ein gweledigaeth a’n blaenoriaethau fod fel cronfa dreftadaeth fwyaf y DU yn ystod ei fframwaith cyllido strategol nesaf – y cyfnod o 2019-2024. Bydd y gweithdy yn gyfle i gyfranogwyr: • ddarganfod mwy am waith CDL yng Nghymru; a • thrafod a chyfrannu eich sylwadau cynnar am gyfeiriad CDL yn y dyfodol. Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) is consulting on its role, vision and funding priorities for the next five years. A unique opportunity is now open for everyone who cares about the UK’s extraordinary heritage to give their views on HLF's plans for the future. HLF supports projects that range from restoring natural landscapes to rescuing neglected buildings: from recording diverse community histories to providing life-changing training. We now want to know what people think of our role, vision and priorities should be as the UK’s biggest funder of heritage during its next strategic funding framework – the period from 2019-2024. The workshop will be an opportunity for participants to: • find out more about the HLFs work in Wales; and • discuss and contribute your early views on HLFs future direction.

Editor's Notes
- Introduce yourself – and anything else you want to say……. Really pleased to have an opportunity to come and speak to colleagues at the Digital Past conference, it’s useful to be able to catch up with so many colleagues in one place….. Going to try and not talk too much… we want this to be a session that is more of a conversation rather than one way Will have an update on current position and recent developments, and then move on to discussion Discussion areas roughly follow key areas that are planned for wider public consultation
- What we’d like to get from today - Understand stakeholder’s views on the external operating environment, and how this might impact on HLF’s planning for 2019-2024, including: current concerns and opportunities for the heritage sector and people’s engagement with it; how Lottery money might best be used to support this; and how HLF can support the sector’s sustainability. And promote meaningful engagement with the wider consultation process through your networks
- Where we are now HLF invests National Lottery money to transform and sustain the UK’s heritage for people. HLF helps people to get involved with the UK’s heritage, making a positive impact, enriching lives, communities and wider society for the future. A lasting difference for heritage and people, thanks to National Lottery players We are the largest dedicated funder of the UK’s heritage and through our investment and influence we have a significant leadership role in the heritage world both directly and indirectly through our open grants programmes and our strategic funding interventions. We are not starting with a blank piece of paper, our consultation is shaped by the findings of DCMS’s Tailored Review and the investment we have already made in the UK heritage sector.
- Wales Data 1994-2016 Total £373,454,129 30% Historic Buildings and Monuments £186,435,812 7% Museums, Libraries, Archives and Collections £48,372,996 7% Land and Biodiversity £84,972,488 3% Industrial, Maritime and Transport £33,550,201 48% Intangible Heritage £17,569,582 5% Community Heritage £2,553,050 Include EXAMPLES?? We don’t define heritage, rather taking an inclusive approach to communities and organisations who care for and make accessible the UK’s heritage in whatever form that may be. We don’t plan to change this approach which has been endorsed and supported by stakeholders and the public in previous consultation but the consultation is an opportunity for you to tell us what we should be prioritising and how we could do that.
- Funding by organisation type in Wales 55% Community/ voluntary £121,411,481 14% Local Authority £136,202,243 4%Other Public Sector £67,475,323 22% Church organisation or other faith-based group £47,839,181 1% Commercial Organisation £525,900
- It’s probably not escaped anyone’s attention that HLF is going through a period of change. Fewer members of the team
- Tailored Review – positive outcomes for HLF, but does suggest that we do some things differently… - Digital External context – devo in England, public involvement, ‘digital by default’
- Remind members of key themes from each item, and what discussion covered Externally – ran stakeholder workshops alongside TR – covered themes around: Collaboration and Networks People, Communities, Place Resilience, Capacity, Skills HLF leadership role: Convening Advocacy Brokering relationships Sharing learning Also – early qualitative research with NL Players – main themes: Breadth of funding Heritage alleviating social issues HLF being proactive Involving the public in decision-making Raising awareness Spoke to Country Committees earlier in the year to get early insight into country context, as well as Have also spoken to staff across the organisations – to update and understand their range of views Examples re CC if needed: Natural heritage/coast (Wales, Scotland) Deprivation and community capacity (Wales) Identity post-Brexit (Scotland, Northern Ireland) New financial models, resilience and innovation Streamline outcomes for better evaluation Reduce complexity of funding portfolio
- Qualitative research with national lottery players – Undertaken some early public consultation Vision Research – Ran 12 public dialogue workshops across the UK Participants recruited – all lottery players – represent local demographic with food spread Full day of discussion designed to support them to contribute on a topic they might know little about Work through a range of activities (see slide) Followed by further round of workshops – external and internal – to build on and analyse in depth Current stage – interim analysis of 12 UK-wide workshops which has given us some broad themes Findings across 5 key themes. Wanted to briefly introduce these and get your headline thoughts (briefly talk through each theme – NEED TO GET THIS INFO IF USING THIS SLIDE) These are the key areas of findings from lottery players What are your thoughts – particularly on those aspects that would impact on What we fund How we fund it – and how we make decisions Prompt - focus on – involving the public / awareness
- Anne Run through of current position – what has already been agreed
- Catherine Stakeholder: Communicate proposals for National Lottery funding for heritage for 2019-2024, including potential changes from the current position. Engage stakeholders with direction of travel and gain an understanding of their views on proposals. Identify key areas of opportunity and risk to feed into further development of proposals Use consultation feedback to develop strategic framework proposals that will win broad endorsement from stakeholders Public: Build on the qualitative ‘Vision’ research findings to understand the extent to which these are reflective of the views of the wider population – both of the general public and National Lottery players Building on findings from the 20 Years in 12 Places research, gain an updated understanding of the public perception of heritage and how it is valued. The report on this research is available on HLF’s website here. Gain an understanding of the levels of public awareness of Heritage Lottery Fund, as one of the TNL good causes, and funded projects. Establish a baseline for the funding framework objectives, particularly the objective that relates to how people value and appreciate heritage, in order to enable us to report on the extent to which objectives are being met, as delivery of the framework progresses. Main consultation – supplemented by additional qualitative work – including workshops and events in regions / countries.
- Catherine Intro to the discussion – aims, running 4 sessions, this one’s a pilot Timings – areas / topics for discussion, breaks etc.
- Should HLF give priority to heritage considered to be ‘at risk’? And how would you define heritage that is ‘at risk’? Encourage people to give as much detail as possible. Anne – (for all discussion slides, give brief overview before posing question) What are the greatest needs or opportunities that investment from the National Lottery could address? Look at heritage first, prompts: Sector? At risk? Moving on to inclusion – thoughts on how we prioritise people to promote fairness and equality across the portfolio? Role of development work and priorities for inclusion PDAs, deprivation, other methodologies
