Sukkat Shalom Reform Synagogue

The Heritage Lottery Fund was set up by Parliament in 1994 to give grants to a wide range of projects involving the local, regional and national heritage of the United Kingdom. They distribute a share of the money raised by the National Lottery for Good Causes.

They are officially known as a ‘non-departmental public body’. This means that, although they are not a government department, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport issues financial directions to them and they report to Parliament through the department. Their decisions about individual applications and policies are entirely independent.

The synagogue was fortunate to be awarded a large grant in order to fund a complete refurbishment of the building plus the installation of the pannelling from the synagogue in Tottenham.
