The Heritage Alliance unites over 150 independent heritage organisations in England as a powerful, effective and independent advocate for heritage.
As England’s biggest coalition of heritage interests we bring together independent heritage organisations from the National Trust, English Heritage, Canal & River Trust and Historic Houses, to more specialist bodies representing visitors, owners, volunteers, professional practitioners, funders and educationalists. Our members’ 6.3 million volunteers, trustees, members and staff demonstrate the strength and commitment of the independent heritage movement. Join us today.
We help to keep the sector informed by sharing all the latest heritage news, jobs and events through our fortnightly newsletter Heritage Update. Sign up here to get it straight to your inbox. And if you want to share your vacancies, news and events with the sector, find out how to advertise with us here.

Each week, we work to compile the latest guidance, advice and funding for mitigating the effects of COVID-19 for organisations across the Heritage sector.

We have also created a new Brexit Hub to collate all the latest guidance around Brexit that may impact heritage organisations and businesses.
Support for the Sector
Rebuilding Heritage, a free support programme for the heritage sector, has launched this September. The programme will provide support to individuals and organisations to help them to respond and adapt to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Visit www.rebuildingheritage.org.uk or sign up to the Rebuilding Heritage mailing list. The programme is coordinated by the Heritage Alliance and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The Heritage Digital portal also continues to offer free digital skills training and events from The Heritage Alliance and our project partners Charity Digital, Media Trust and Naomi Korn Associates. Heritage Digital is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of the Digital Skills for Heritage initiative.
