Through targeted on-site training projects, it will help to secure the future of up to twenty important, but threatened buildings and places across the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With \u00a34.5m in funding provided by the Hamish Ogston Foundation, the Commonwealth Heritage Skills programme will be delivered by both UK and international partners, including The Prince\u2019s Foundation, the World Monuments Fund India and an international network of educational institutions.
