A day school organised by the East of England Historic Environment Forum and the Heritage Trust Network

Talks, workshopping and a site tour will cover the possibilities and practicalities of finding sustainable new uses, getting the business plan right and the organisation fit for purpose, and planning for long-term maintenance and management. What are the possibilities and practicalities for small trusts and similar organisations of owning and maintaining a historic building?

Who should come?

Community-led organisations thinking of taking on a historic building for the long term. The day school is open to all, of any experience level.

What will the outcomes be?

1. Improved understanding of heritage projects
2. Better forward planning for new and existing projects
3. Better connections with projects in your area
4. Awareness of new ideas and approaches across the sector

What should you do beforehand?

Whatever stage or scale, bring questions about your project to make the most of the great experience in the room.
