To establish whether it is feasible to raise circa £3million for a new Heritage Centre for DH, and a) Where funding might come from, the types of funders and how much might be raised. b) What DH will need to put in place to run a campaign of this scale and the resources required to be deployed. c) The potential timetable of a fundraising campaign. d) Delivery of a Fundraising Feasibility Review and Outline Fundraising Strategy Report. We expect the following donors/funder groups to be considered: • The National Heritage Lottery Fund: DH previously applied to the National Heritage Lottery Fund for funding to refurbish a former local registry office, known as "The Bury", in Hemel Hempstead. although the bid was unsuccessful, we intend to apply to them again, especially in the context that we were invited to revert with new proposals. • Other statutory and public funds. • Trusts and foundations. • Individuals - for major and public appeal gifts. • Local companies such as Atlas Copco (manufacturers of industrial tools in Hemel Hempstead), GSK (successor to William Cooper's agricultural insecticides business in Berkhamsted), Eastman Kodak (manufacturers of photography related products in Hemel Hempstead) and Sir Robert McAlpine (construction company based in Hemel Hempstead).
