In June 2015, the Jewellery Quarter Development Trust (JQDT) submitted a bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund to improve, repair and bring buildings back into use, that are located within a defined area of the Jewellery Quarter. The bid was successful, and the project started in February 2018 and will run until February 2022. In total £1.8 million grant funding will be used to support building improvement works and audience engagement activities.
Additional funding for the scheme has been contributed by Birmingham City Council, JQBID, Historic England and the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Enterprise Partnership.
The scheme aims to create a high quality, attractive environment for people to live, work and visit and invest through;
- Funding repair and restoration works to the historic buildings
- Providing opportunities to learn about the unique heritage of the area
