We are pleased to support the Heritage Trust Network conference for the fourth consecutive year.
Held online on 11th November and in person on 19-20th November at the newly refurbished Draper’s Hall in Coventry, the theme of this year’s conference will be recovery, with a focus on the multiple areas members need to consider for the future, including: recovery from the impact of Covid-19, environmental impact, town centres and high streets, organisational sustainability, and wellbeing for staff and volunteers.
We will have an exhibition stand in the Draper’s Hall on Friday 19th November and will be offering 1-2-1 sessions for delegates with Senior Heritage Consultant, Jenna Johnston, and Associate, Grant Prescott.
In addition to our attendance, this year we are especially proud to sponsor a bursary to help people who are young, unemployed, or switching to a career in heritage, attend the conference.
The Heritage Trust Network is a grass roots membership organisation which operates throughout the United Kingdom, drawing together and supporting the work of local heritage groups who are involved in the restoration and preservation of our built heritage. Its members are a mix of building preservation trusts, community trusts and social enterprises, and it currently has more than 300 members nationwide.
If you would like to find out more about accessing support through the bursary, please contact sarah.pearce@heritagetrustnetwork.org.uk.
