Heritage Debate 2022: What a Success!

A week ago today we held our 2022 Heritage Debate, which invited a spirited discussion on the topic: ‘Heritage in 20 Years: what will matter most?’.

Our Chair, Pam Alexander OBE, created a space for a lively debate between the 5 experts who each eloquently made strong cases. Once all views were heard, participants used the Zoom poll function to allocate their fictional £1 million in funding to which of the 5 proposed issues they believed would be the priority in 20 years’ time.

The poll results showed that, based on the arguments made in Heritage Debate, attendees believe Community Value and Climate Crisis will matter most in 2042. While we set speakers the challenge to argue for one priority over all others, the discussion between panellists and attendees in the chat showed just how intertwined the present challenges and opportunities facing the sector, and how that will continue to be true in the future.

To keep the conversation going, we’ll be continuing to share reflections from the inspiring set of blogs on our Heritage Debate 2022 webpage responding to this year’s question, and we’ve pulled together an article with resources for the sector that we shared during the event.

The event was sponsored by Ecclesiastical Insurance, with additional support  from the Youth Hostel Association (YHA) and an in-kind sponsorship from VocalEyes, providing us support to make our events this year more accessible.

Heritage Day – 1 & 2 March 2023!

We are delighted to be able to announce that next year’s Heritage Day will be taking place across 1 & 2 March 2023. Please save the dates in your calendar.

Heritage Day 2023 will follow the same format s last year, with virtual sessions on the 1 March and an in-person event at The Charterhouse, London on the 2 March. This will be a chance for us all to gather valuable insights, make new connections and discuss priorities for the year ahead.

We have decided to mix virtual and in-person sessions for Heritage Day 2023 to ensure that it will reach the full breadth of the sector. We’ll feature key speeches from sector leaders including René Olivieri, Chair of the National Trust, foster connection through a series of interactive breakout sessions with sector experts and provide the platform for heritage-facing people to discuss issues, find solutions and gather valuable insight.

It’s also our 20^th Anniversary Year, so as well as the business of the day, Heritage Day 2023 will include the opportunity for reflection and celebration of the sector’s collective achievements.

Thanks to Ecclesiastical Insurance whose generous support make Heritage Debate and Heritage Day possible.

We are delighted to announce that St Mary le Strand Church have joined as the newest members of the Heritage Alliance.

St Mary le Strand is a celebrated architectural gem and a widely recognised landmark building.

Government News

Our summary of the latest announcements and guidance for the heritage sector.

Headlines

• Restructuring Tourism Boards in North East England

• 59 Upcoming Regeneration Projects on Brownfield Land

• Additional Funding for Projects Supporting Woodlands

• Latest Domestic Sentiments on Cost of Living & Travel

DCMS & Culture

Pilot Chosen for Tourism Board Restructure

DCMS has announced that the NewcastleGateshead Initiative in the North East has been selected to lead the Destination Development Partnership (DDP) pilot in partnership with Visit Northumberland and Visit County Durham working across seven local authority areas. DCMS say that the DDP will receive multi-year funding totalling £2.25 million across three years “to promote more strategic, consumer focused development of the visitor economy”.

This follows recommendations in last year’s independent review into DMOs (Destination Management Organisations) carried out by Nick de Bois.

Cultural Protection Funding & Support for Heritage at Risk

In partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the British Council has announced a new £14 million grant for 17 projects, including those protecting heritage at risk from climate change through the Cultural Protection Fund. The funds will be awarded across 2.5 years for projects protecting tangible and intangible heritage put at risk from climate change and conflict. Congratulations to Alliance member INTO, who have been awarded funding for the project they are leading across six countries in MENA and East Africa that will rehabilitate important built heritage in each country, raise awareness about the impact of climate change and build capacity through knowledge exchange and partnership.

In addition to this, the British Council and the University of Cambridge are providing new funding for two 12-month research fellowships on cultural relations and climate action.

Report on Grants Paid by DCMS Under Charities Act

A report on the use of section 70 of the Charities Act 2006 by DCMS, for the financial years 2018-19 to 2021-22 has now been published on Gov.UK. Section 70 of the Charities Act 2006 sets out the powers for Ministers to give financial assistance to charitable, benevolent or philanthropic institutions, and requires that payments made under this power are reported.

Headline figures appear to show grants have increased since 2018/19 from £758.6m in that year to £131.1m in 2021/22. However, it is important to note that this spending does not represent the total amount of grant funding provided by DCMS to the Voluntary and Community Sector, as many other grants have been paid to this sector under the powers conferred by alternative legislation.

Planning

Brownfield Land Release Fund 2 Allocated

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) has announced that almost £35 million from the £180 million Brownfield Land Release Fund 2 has been allocated to 41 councils to help kickstart regeneration in towns and cities. This will include over 2,200 new homes built on “unloved, council-owned land” to ensure “local areas can achieve their full potential, while also protecting the country’s green spaces”.

Environment

Additional Funding for Country’s Woodlands & Timber Industry

The Government has announced the successful projects which will be benefitting from new funding for projects improving tree planting stocks, woodland resilience and domestic timber production. This is alongside additional investment in local authority tree planting initiatives, which will see hundreds of thousands of trees planted in communities across England.

It was also announced that the Local Authority Treescapes Fund (LATF) and the Urban Tree Challenge Fund (UTCF) will reopen for new applications early in 2023.

Tourism & Hospitality

VisitEngland – November Sentiment Tracker

Government Launches ECO+ Scheme

On Monday, the Government announced new measures through which it aims to help hundreds of thousands better insulate their homes and reduce consumption. A new £1 billion ECO+ scheme will support more people to receive new home insulation, and this will be extended to support those in the least energy efficient homes in the lower Council Tax bands, as well as targeting the most vulnerable.

A new £18 million campaign will provide public advice on how people can save money on their bills “without sacrificing comfort”. The scheme will be rolling out predominantly low-cost insulation measures such as loft insulation and cavity wall insulation.

Census Data Published

Information from the 2021 Census for England and Wales has now been published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Certain statistics are already being reported, for example that 37.2% of the population reported having “no religion”, which was the second most common response after “Christian” – representing an over 22 percentage point increase over the past 20 years. Across the two countries racial diversity has increased, especially in cities.

The 1921 Census of England and Wales was published in full, online for the first time in January this year, following comprehensive conservation and digitisation. Census data is published. All later censuses remain in the custody of the ONS. They will remain closed to the public for 100 years after the date they were conducted.

HEF Sustainability & Net Zero Resource Page

The Historic Environment Forum (HEF) has launched a new Sustainability & Net Zero Resource Page, which shares key materials from the HEF Sustainability & Climate Change Task Group to support the heritage sector on the path to Net Zero. On this page, you will also find webinar recordings and slide packs produced by guest speakers at recent Task Group meetings.

The Historic Environment Forum: Stakeholder Survey 2022

The HEF team is also currently undertaking a review of the new model HEF which has been in operation since April 2020. The review reflects the team's commitment to the continuous improvement of HEF and will play an important role in making sure that the work of the HEF represents the whole of the sector without bias.

As part of this review, the team are undertaking a short stakeholder survey to gauge views from within the membership of HEF and beyond about the HEF's role, relationships and independence. 

The survey combines multiple-choice questions and opportunities to provide written responses about how you perceive the HEF, and should take about 15 minutes to complete.

Ecclesiastical’s 2022 Heritage Risk Barometer

Ecclesiastical Insurance [Alliance Corporate Partner] has published their 2022 Heritage Risk Barometer, which sets out the results of research carried out with over 500 heritage organisations on challenges facing the sector. As part of Ecclesiastical’s ongoing support for the heritage sector, the Risk Barometer is a major research-based report that aims to understand the risks the sector faces and what it can do to manage and mitigate those threats.

Guidelines for Authentic & Meaningful Participation in Heritage

As part of a research initiative led by Solent University, Southampton looking at mental health and wellbeing in heritage, new guidelines have been produced on Authentic and Meaningful Participation in Heritage or Related Activities, also known as AMPHORA.

These guidelines focus on projects that offer active participation to help improve the mental health of individuals who live with complex mental health challenges. There are three sets of guidelines or ‘toolkits’, which have been written for project providers, social prescribers, and potential participants.

These guidelines have been produced as a result of a consultation with 44 stakeholders (a number of which were Alliance Members) - including people with experience of living with mental health issues and also those with expertise in mental health and heritage.
