UK Wide Activity
Our UK-wide activities help support over 1,000 community heritage organisations, businesses and young people. It is led by our UK Operations Manager and supported by our UK Heritage Trainee.
Their work is delivered through Essential Networks, a 5-year project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Essential Networks includes a wide range of online learning and networking events and other activities to support our members.
Our UK team also includes our Marketing and Communications Officer who is working to raise the profile of the Network and community heritage in general and our Business Development Manager whose role is to diversify our income and improve our financial resilience.
