Introduction to Heritage Network is a free online webinar taking place on Wednesday, 2 July 2025, at 9:00 AM BST, hosted by the Heritage Network (formerly Heritage Trust Network). Designed for partners, funders, prospective and existing member organisations, the event offers an informative overview of the Network’s mission, structure, services, and membership benefits.
The session begins with an introduction to the Heritage Network itself—a UK-wide membership body supporting not-for-profit organisations engaged in rescuing, restoring, and repurposing historic buildings, structures, and spaces (bsky.app). Attendees will gain insight into the organisation’s history, which dates back to its origins as the Heritage Trust Network, and understand how it advocates for heritage projects across the nation.
Participants will learn about the practical advantages of joining the Network, including access to expert advice, funding opportunities, training resources, peer networking, and marketing support. The webinar will highlight recent success stories and case studies, illustrating how member groups have benefited from the Network's involvement—especially in securing grants, delivering restoration projects, and navigating regulatory frameworks.
The event also provides an interactive Q&A segment, allowing attendees to discuss specific challenges and questions related to project development, governance, or membership. It's an ideal opportunity for organisations exploring the benefits of formal membership or those seeking to expand their engagement with other heritage groups and professionals.
This introductory webinar is free to attend, but places may be limited—early registration via Eventbrite is recommended to secure access and receive login details. Attendees can join remotely, making it accessible to heritage groups throughout the UK.
