answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2018 answer text <p>We recognise the importance of increasing the uptake of STEM skills across all engineering sectors, including heritage aviation. The Year of Engineering 2018 encourages aviation partners to engage young people with the sector, such as the Royal Aeronautical Society’s ‘Cool Aeronautics’ programme.</p><p>Through its grant-making, the Heritage Lottery Fund supports the development of new skills to look after and share our rich aviation heritage and collections. Their approach encourages applicants to consider incorporating apprenticeships, volunteer training and the creation of learning resources to develop the STEM skills needed to conserve and digitally interpret over 100 years of aviation history. This has resulted in a number of HLF-funded aviation projects supporting STEM skills, including the development of an Aviation Heritage Skills course at Brooklands Museum.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 13/06/2018 10:06:27 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has awarded £270,000 to projects in Doncaster in the last financial year (£0.88 per capita). Since the organisation’s inception, it has awarded nearly £17m of grants to Doncaster, which amounts to £54.87 per capita. The total grants awarded in England in the last financial year totalled £4.07 per capita.</p><p> </p><p>HLF always looks to address issues around lower levels of funding, and Doncaster has been a priority development area for HLF since 2003. Under this approach, where HLF works closely with heritage and other organisations locally to increase capacity and levels of applications, it has supported 104 projects since 2003 and 129 projects since 1994. It also played a key role in the successful joint funding scheme in 2015 ‘Dosh for Donny’ alongside other National Lottery distributors, which resulted in £372,000 being awarded to the area in that financial year and an increase in small grant awards.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 11/06/2018 16:13:34 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
