The strategy sets out to:- Address immediate funding deficiencies in the sector, mitigating the risk of loss of key screen heritage material and thus safeguarding this heritage.
- Restructure support for the sector to secure the skills and organisational infrastructure necessary to care for the heritage.
- Create a critical mass of digitised material and the digital infrastructure required to deliver the vision by ensuring the widest possible access for the public.
The fund will help to lever additional investment to ensure that access to screen heritage can be improved for more people in innovative ways. This will not only involve exploiting the benefits of digital technologies across the English regions but developing new ways and improved ways for people to meaningfully engage with regional screen heritage content and build upon a range and variety of platforms regionally and nationally (i.e. through screenings, broadcasting, festivals, online and in public spaces).

The fund is about making content accessible in the digital age, regardless of where it is held, in order to remove barriers to access to regional screen heritage. Films in regional archives are often acquired because of their local public value but in many instances, these collections are also of national and international importance.
