Heartlands
Heartlands is a £29.5 million community led scheme to transform Cornwall’s most derelict urban area in to a truly inspirational cultural landscape. In November 2007 Heartlands was awarded a £22.3 million grant from the Big Lottery’s Living Landmark programme. It was one of only three projects in the UK to receive grants under the Living Landmarks scheme. Heartlands will create a unique setting for a range of activities that are essential for the area’s social regeneration.
