The AHF is a registered charity, working since 1976 to promote the conservation and sustainable re-use of historic buildings for the benefit of communities across the UK, particularly in economically disadvantaged areas.We are the leading heritage social investor and the only specialist heritage lender operating in the UK.Where a building is listed, scheduled, or within a conservation area or of acknowledged historic merit – and potentially involves a change of ownership and/or use – we can help.The AHF can offer advice, grants and loans to projects that have the potential to deliver substantial social and economic benefits where they are needed most.
