NLHF success for Gloucester Cathedral

We are delighted to congratulate our client Gloucester Cathedral on their NLHF award. The Cathedral’s Project Pilgrim will receive £4.16 million to help the Cathedral to fulfil its role as a dynamic place of spiritual, community and heritage activity. This investment will improve and restore specific areas of the building and grounds as well as uncover and share stories about the people and events which have helped to define the significant role it has played in the City and Nation’s history.

JHA wrote the project’s Activity Plan, a process which has involved extensive consultation with users and non-users through focus groups, individual face-to-face and telephone interviews, an online survey and three pilot activities.
