The Heritage Impact Accelerator is a project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund that will see University of Northampton focus on enriching and showcasing the heritage of Corby. The University of Bedfordshire will extend their established Heritage Futures Elevator project in Luton, with both institutions working hand-in-hand to develop heritage across the region.

The Heritage Impact Accelerator will support practitioners in both towns and surrounding areas, to deliver heritage-related educational projects, covering community heritage, natural heritage, industrial heritage and heritage of both town’s architecture.
