What is a Townscape Heritage Scheme (THI) ?
The Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) is the Heritage Lottery Fund’s grant giving programme for the repair and regeneration of the historic environment in towns and cities throughout the UK. The scheme was born of the HLF’s desire to deliver sustainable conservation in historic urban areas by raising the standard of repair where the market has failed to do so, and by bringing new uses and new life back into areas which have lost their traditional economic base. It encourages partnerships to carry out repairs and other works to a number of historic properties within those areas, and improve the quality of life for all those who live, work or visit there.
