The importance of parks & gardens, stories of urban pond-dipping & an appearance from a well-timed dusk bat. Great to be at the launch of the #Gardenstrust report at Octavia Hill’s Red Cross Garden in Borough this evening. Amazing to see the urban garden against the backdrop of London’s night sky.

Lovely sunny day at Fawley Museum - a wonderful pleasure to be there for the National Transport Trust awards! May even have had a train ride too!

Great things about working in the Heritage sector (pt2) - seeing the Crown Jewels on a Tuesday evening! Privileged to celebrate the 187th Constable’s reception at the Tower of London, and the historic royal palace looking wonderful in the evening sun…

The Government’s Creative Industries Sector Plan has been published πŸ““

While we’d have liked greater recognition of #Heritage, it’s good to see the Govt acknowledge its facilitating role & value of Cultural + Heritage Capital.

Great things about working in the heritage sector (part 1) - attending the very excellent City & Guilds degree show last night. Wonderful work on show from graduates across a range of disciplines.

Heritage needs smart policy, not just funding. Our report shows how fiscal & funding policies can unlock potential: recognise heritage in Industrial Strategy, reform apprenticeships, and create a safe harbour scheme for at-risk assets.

Also excellent insight from Bob Jaeger of Partners For Sacred spaces, speaking about the US sector & navigating the junction of heritage/faith/community - great examples of evidencing cultural value of heritage to the wider community & civic value of historic spaces @heritagealliance.bsky.social

But also highlighted challenges - lack of resource, repairs & maintenance costs & lack of basic facilities. What do we do about it? Β 1) make sure we’re clear about impact and benefits of heritage assets, as well as 2) taking a relentless positive approach! @heritagealliance.bsky.social

excellent opening morning at HRBA’s Big Update with Chair, Carole Souter commencing proceedings with her thoughts on β€˜What does Heritage mean today’ on shifting (or not!) social attitudes to heritage over the last 25 years - not much has changed, people really value heritage when asked.
