The next #HeritageChat is on the theme of Heritage and the High Street and will take place on the 20th June, 13.00-14.00.
This theme has been a focus of the Heritage 2020 Constructive Conservation and Sustainable Management group (find out more). The group has been looking at the role that heritage can play in the regeneration of high streets in the face of economic and social change.
On May 18th, Government published further information on the £62 million investment into heritage in high streets (originally announced in the 2018 Budget). Historic England, the Architectural Heritage Fund and the National Lottery Heritage Fund are all playing roles in distributing the funding. Read the press release.
Please contribute issues that you would like to discuss as part of this Heritage Chat to our GoogleDoc on this page (we’re collecting input until 14th June). We will share the topics that will be used during the chat from the 17th.
If you would like to suggest a theme for a future Heritage Chat, please contact Caroline Peach heritage2020@theheritagealliance.org.uk. Heritage Chat takes place on the third Thursday of every month.
