Updates from The Heritage Alliance

Get Your Tickets for Heritage Day!

We are pleased to announce that tickets for Heritage Day are now on sale!

Attendees to this year's Heritage Day will join The Heritage Alliance, Sir Laurie Magnus, Chair of Historic England, and the Minister for Sport, Tourism, and Heritage Nigel Huddleston MP, plus colleagues from across the sector for a range of engaging sessions, performances and networking opportunities in an informative and interactive online event.

This popular yearly event, albeit in a new form, across two mornings, will deliver all the old favourites such as talks with Ministers and the launch of Heritage Counts, as well as providing new digital experiences in the form of virtual reality, whimsical performances and online networking.

The event will close with the presentation of Ecclesiastical’s Heritage Heroes Awards, which this year are particularly poignant, with all the hard work the sector has done when faced with extreme challenges. Winners will be announced in the following categories:

• Heritage in Lockdown Hero
• Supporting the Sector in Lockdown
• Digital Heritage Hero

Advertising Opportunities

A limited number of digital advertising spaces are available, with a reduced rate for members of The Heritage Alliance. Advertisements will be seen by hundreds of delegates from leading heritage sites and organisations across the UK.

Changes to Our Team

We are delighted to welcome Courtney Fleming to our team, who will support on the delivery of our upcoming Heritage Day Event and provide project support on our Heritage Digital project.

This week we are also sadly saying goodbye to Iona Popat, our fantastic Policy and Projects Officer, who has been with the Alliance for the past sixth months on a placement from the Civil Service Fast Stream. Iona will be moving on to a new role in the Cabinet Office. We wish her the very best.

Policy Updates

This fortnight:

• We welcomed Alliance Members to our annual AGM yesterday, where we reviewed what we achieved in 2020, set out aspirations for 2021 and officially appointed new trustees to help take our work forward. (Interested in joining us? Find out how here).
• We also held two roundtables with Historic England this week to gather needs of heritage organisations around improving Diversity and Inclusion across work in the sector.
• Hannah (Our Head of Policy and Comms) attended an Archaeology APPG meeting, where the group discussed the cuts to high-cost university courses, specifically archaeology, planning reform and the Environment Bill, among other topics

• We signed this letter with Wildlife and Countryside Link and several other organisations to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in light of their upcoming review of environmental assessments.

• Our CEO Lizzie also signed a letter to The Times on the proposed cuts to University funding, which will affect archaeology, performing arts and the creative arts.

Welcome to Our New Members

This fortnight, we are delighted to welcome two new core members and one individual supporter to The Heritage Alliance.

Petersfield Museum

Located close to the centre of Petersfield, on the border of Hampshire and West Sussex and at the western edge of the South Downs National Park, Petersfield Museum tells the story of this ancient market town and surrounding villages through its Victorian buildings, prehistoric archaeology, artefacts, art, historic dress and literature.

Founded in 1999 and originally housed in a Victorian Courthouse (1895) – in which the magistrates’ bench and witness box can still be seen – the Trustees were able to purchase the town’s Victorian Police Station and stables (1858) in 2016. The two buildings, although built 40 years apart, are located on the same site and are in the same Brick and Flint style. Following extensive fundraising, a £4m redevelopment programme is drawing to a close, which will see the Museum re-opening – Covid-permitting – and welcoming visitors again in late Spring 2021.

This project reunites the Courthouse with the Police Station, exercise yard and stable block (now containing an Edward Thomas Study Centre) to create a holistic heritage experience unifying the museum, new galleries and collections stores on a single site. Bringing these buildings together creates a Victorian justice heritage complex, showcasing the buildings’ original purposes and incorporating a restored Victorian Cell.

Downside Abbey

Downside Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in the heart of the South West. It is the oldest of the monasteries and convents that constitute the English Benedictine Congregation, established in the thirteenth century. The monks of the monastery of St Gregory the Great arrived at Stratton on the Fosse, outside of Bath, in 1814 and set about building a neo-Gothic church, monastery, school, and estate including extensive gardens.

Home to a Grade 1 listed abbey church and minor basilica, it maintains a major library of medieval manuscripts and rare books as well as the largest monastic archive in the UK. It recently completed a £1.4M National Lottery Heritage Fund restoration project of its archive and library. Home to a community of Benedictine monks it is the centre of English Benedictine culture and heritage in England and Wales. Enjoying close links with heritage stakeholders and universities in the South West and beyond the abbey is helped in the management of its rich heritage assets by a small team of staff helped by a well-established volunteer base of over 30 men and women from the local area.

Sam Bee

Sam Bee is a former airline Captain, who has been a supporter of transport, aviation and railway heritage for many years (especially through his work with The Bluebell Railway Trust). 

#HeritageChat

The next Heritage Chat, on Tuesday 16th February 1-2pm (UK time), will be devoted to ‘Funding and Fundraising in the Heritage Sector’. If you want to see a question discussed, please add it here by Sunday 14th February. 

Our January #HeritageChat discussed ‘Historic Environment & Climate Change’, a topic related to our COP26 Task Group. It provided an opportunity to explore how our sector can become more ‘green’ and mitigate the impact of climate change at a local level. You can read the summary of the chat here.

#HeritageChat is a one-hour Twitter chat for the historic environment sector which takes place every third Tuesday of the month. Follow @HeritageChat to take part and remember: if you want to see a topic discussed in one of the next Heritage Chats please get in touch, you can lead the chat or we can lead it for you!

• Planning - Government Responds to the Building Better Building Beautiful Commission Report
• Cuts to Teaching Grants for Archaeology, Creative Industries and Performing Arts in Universities

COVID-19

Here is a summary of the latest news around coronavirus and lockdown restrictions for this fortnight. As usual, do keep an eye on our Covid-19 Guidance Hub for continued updates.

The latest guidance includes:

• Travel advice: coronavirus (COVID-19) (updated)
• Guidance on the Kickstart Scheme
• Providing apprenticeships during the COVID-19 outbreak
• Guidance on going to work (updated)
• Guidance on searching for archaeological finds in England during COVID-19 (updated to allow metal detective within current lockdown rules)

• Enabling safe and effective volunteering during COVID-19 (updated)
• Guidance for Managing Playgrounds and Outdoor Gyms (updated)

Travel & Sentiments

The Inbound COVID-19 Sentiment Tracker from Visit Britain and partners has shown that overall, 70% of respondents would consider an international leisure trip in 2021, which indicates "a resilient desire to travel despite pandemic uncertainties".

The Department for Transport has published Wave 4 of its National Travel Attitudes Study, covering travel behaviour during the pandemic - including concerns about travel and changes in behaviour.

IATA have published their global travel figures for 2020, which show that global passenger traffic fell by 65.9% compared to 2019 - the sharpest traffic decline in aviation history.  Their forecast for 2021 is for an improvement on the 2020 figures that would bring the industry to 50.6% of 2019 levels.

Clear Sight (from BVA BDRC) provides updates on key national sentiment and confidence indicators. Findings from their latest report show that there has been an upturn in UK holiday booking activity and that there has been an overall upturn in the UK mood, despite concerns over mutated virus variations that have prompted greater caution.

New Travel Restrictions

The Government has introduced tighter travel restrictions this week, with the key points as follows:

• From 15 February, anyone travelling to the UK from a country on the UK's travel ban list will be required to quarantine in a government-approved facility for 10 days.
• When entering Scotland, the hotel quarantine requirement applies on arrival from all countries except Ireland.

See the full guidance here. 

Arts & Culture Jobs at Risk in London

New research published by Sadiq Khan shows that central London’s economy has been hit hardest by Covid-19, largely due to home working and a sharp drop in tourism. Tourism spending fell by £10.9bn in 2020 compared to the previous year.  The research also shows that more than 26,000 jobs at risk in arts and culture alone and the night-time economy faces large challenges.

Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)

Claims to the third SEISS grant closed on 29 January 2021, but details about the fourth grant will be announced on 3 March 2021.

New Flexible Repayment Options for Bounce Back Loan Borrowers

This week, the Chancellor announced flexibilities for repayments of the Bounce Back Loan, including the ability to tailor payments according to individual circumstances and delay repayments for up to 6 months.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has also published specific guidance on use of Pay as You Grow options in the scheme.

Loans are available for up to £50,000, with small and medium-sized businesses able to apply to borrow between £2,000 and up to 25% of their annual turnover. The scheme is open to applications until 31 March 2021.

FCA Business Interruption Policy Checker

The FCA has produced a Policy Checker which takes businesses through a process whereby they can check to see whether their insurance policy covers business interruption losses due to Covid-19. In addition, the FCA have developed a set of FAQs to give businesses further information about making a claim.

Business Interruption Loan - Repayment Extensions

The Chancellor announced in September, as part of his winter economy plan to support businesses, that Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme lenders would be given the ability to extend the length of loans from a maximum of six years to ten years. The Tourism Alliance has however raised with DCMS that some lenders have been refusing to extend the repayment of some businesses' loans.

Analysis of Government Schemes

The latest analysis of Government COVID-19 support schemes has been published. Including:

• The latest analysis of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) has been published by the ONS
• Analysis of the Self Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
• Analysis of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme

Brexit

We will continue to update our Brexit Hub to keep the sector updated with all the latest rules and guidance. Please continue to send us your experiences with Brexit so far, including any barriers or challenges you have faced in different areas of your work or that of your organisation. 

We encourage professionals across the sector to use the Brexit FAQ Trello Board from the Historic Environment Forum. This tool has been set up to answer key questions on the post-Brexit period and allows users to pose their own questions.

Mutual Recognition of Qualifications

The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (Brexit Deal - see page 97) provides a framework under which the UK and the EU may agree Mutual Recognition Agreements on the recognition of professional qualifications covering the UK and all 27 EU Member States. Arrangements are implemented on a profession-by-profession basis and depend upon reciprocal cooperation from both the UK and EU Member States. 

DCMS is currently undertaking work for BEIS regarding the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications by gathering feedback on priority regulators and qualifications for the tourism sector. 

Planning

News around planning this fortnight includes:

• MHCLG has published the Government's response to the Building Better, Building Beautiful Commission report. In it they state that they 'do not intend to make further changes to the VAT treatment of renovations and environmentally friendly home improvements at present'.
• In response to the report, all new developments "must meet local standards of beauty, quality and design" - see a list of the new rules here
• Robert Jenrick has written that "we must put housebuilding back at the heart of our communities"
• A new regulator has been established to ensure construction materials are safe
• And it has been announced that all new homes and businesses will have to meet rigorous new energy efficiency standards "to lower energy consumption and bills, helping to protect the environment"

Environment & Agriculture

Countryside Stewardship Scheme - Open for 2021 Agreements

The new Countryside Stewardship scheme opened this week. Through Countryside Stewardship, farmers can apply for funding to improve their local environment. Recent changes have been made to improve the scheme, including new options for woodland and built structures.

This scheme will eventually be replaced with the new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme, with new agricultural policy to be finalised in 2024.

Environmental Land Management - Policy Discussion

DEFRA has updated the analysis of responses from its consultation on the design of the Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme. 

A reminder that ELM has also confirmed their intent to publish a third call for Tests and Trials proposals to contribute to the design of the new Landscape Recovery scheme. Expressions of Interest will be open until the end of April 2021.

Green Finance

The Treasury has announced that the UK has joined the International Platform on Sustainable Finance (IPSF). This action is in support of the Government's approach to greening financial systems in line with the aims of COP26. 

Education

Cuts to Archaeology, Performing Arts and Creative Arts in Universities

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson wrote to the Office for Students to outline the funding priorities and Higher Education Teaching Grant budget for 2021-2022. In it he laid out a change in focus for the funding, prioritising STEM subjects and proposing cuts in funding to 'non-strategic' high-cost subjects, including Archaeology, Art and Design, Music, Dance, Drama and Performing Arts and Media Studies.

Our CEO Lizzie signed a letter to The Times, with other archaeology leaders and senior academics, urging the Government to reconsider the cuts, outlining the scientific value of archaeology and it's contribution to the £31bn heritage industry.

CIfA [Alliance Member] also released a statement urging the government to review its decision. They state that the move will be harmful to skills delivery for the sector, which is in high demand in the construction sector & justifies its high subject cost.

Parliamentary & Other News

DCMS Questions

Oral Questions were put to The Department for Culture, Media and Sport last week, which focused on progress the Department has made on delivering support for the culture and heritage sector.

You can watch the session in full here and see a written record of the discussion here.

Improving the Diversity of London's Statues and Memorials 

Fifteen panellists have been appointed to the London mayor’s Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm.

Grants & Funding

The National Lottery Heritage Fund [Alliance member] has now resumed its full range of funding with refocused priorities for this year. Applications are open for National Lottery Grants for Heritage from £3,000 up to £5million, but projects that contribute to COVID-19 crisis will be prioritised.

Round Two of DCMS's broadband competition for event venues is now open until 2nd March 2021. Event venues can apply for a share of a £200,000 fund to help them access full fibre broadband.

The Weston Culture Fund has announced the 100 cultural organisations who received a share of £30m through its Weston Culture Fund.

Art Fund has announced a further £750,000 of new grants to help 23 museums respond to the pandemic. The organisations have warned that museums and galleries are 'fighting for survival'.

Impact of Covid-19 on Volunteering in the Heritage Sector

Historic England is asking for your help to find out about the impact of Covid-19 on heritage organisations that need support from volunteers to keep them sustainable. In order to assist them in this undertaking, please complete this short survey by midnight on the 3rd March 2021.

They welcome feedback from organisations of all sizes and types to understand the support needs of the heritage sector at this challenging time, whether your organisation is entirely volunteer-led or only has a few volunteer roles.

Heritage Counts

The latest suite of reports as part of Heritage Counts, produced by Historic England on behalf of the Historic Environment Forum, have now been published. The new reports are summarised below along with key findings.

Heritage and Economy 2020

The Heritage Sector is an important economic sector. Pre-COVID-19 figures show a total GVA* of £36.6bn and 563,509 jobs (2019). However, heritage sector businesses have suffered significant losses of income in 2020 due to the pandemic. The Government responded to this need with the Culture Recovery Fund.

Heritage Indicators 2020

2020 saw an increase in funding and support for heritage in response to the challenges caused by the pandemic. The total number of nationally designated heritage assets grew last year. Listed Buildings have experienced the greatest increase (+339), and the largest regional increase in this category has been in the East Midlands (+69). The number of entries for Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register continued to decline in 2020.

Historic Environment Overview 2020

The overview summarises the state of the historic environment sector in England and the policy changes during the year. It showcases the successes of the Historic Environment Forum, The Heritage Alliance and some of our members (among others, the Architectural Heritage Fund, CIfA, Icon and the National Trust).
