U.K. International Bomber Command Centre Gets National Lottery Funding

The International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) near Lincoln has been awarded £231,000 funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. 

The IBCC dedicates its work to the 58,000 men and women who lost their lives serving or supporting Bomber Command during World War Two.

Chief executive Nicky van der Drift said the money would be used to “make a number of improvements” to the site.

They include a new post-war digital archive and a learning centre.

Ms van der Drift added the centre was “thankful to The National Lottery Heritage Fund” and said she hoped “visitors will come to the centre to see the changes they’re funding at work.”
