This Week in Conservation
Important developments in conservation, heritage, planning and the policies affecting historic buildings and places.
CONSERVECONNECT WEEKLY A weekly briefing bringing together the buildings, campaigns, knowledge, people and opportunities shaping conservation across the UK. Historic buildings are repaired, adapted, threatened, rediscovered and brought back into use every week. Local societies campaign for important places, specialists develop and sustain traditional skills, owners look for expertise, projects seek funding and new opportunities emerge across the conservation community. ConserveConnect Weekly brings those strands together. Each edition will select the developments worth knowing about, highlight buildings and campaigns that deserve attention, share practical knowledge from conservation practice and connect readers with grants, jobs, events, projects and other opportunities. It is intended for conservation professionals and craftspeople, civic societies and building preservation trusts, heritage organisations, researchers, building owners, campaigners and everyone with an active interest in the future of historic buildings and places.

Curated rather than crowded. ConserveConnect Weekly is designed to be read in a few minutes, with links to the stories, organisations and opportunities you want to explore further.
Across the conservation community Many of the most important conservation stories begin locally: a threatened building, a planning proposal, a repair project, a traditional skill at risk, or a community working to find a new future for a valued place. ConserveConnect Weekly is intended to bring those stories into a wider conversation. We want to hear from conservation societies, building preservation trusts, civic groups, practitioners, craftspeople, researchers, building owners and organisations working with historic buildings throughout the UK. By sharing what is happening locally, the Weekly can help connect buildings with expertise, campaigns with wider audiences, projects with opportunities and people with others facing similar challenges.Built from local knowledge and shared experience

Editorial approach ConserveConnect Weekly is an editorially curated publication. We select material because we believe it is useful, important or interesting to people concerned with historic buildings and places. Submitting material does not guarantee inclusion, and editorial coverage cannot be purchased. Membership, advertising, paid listings or other commercial relationships with ConserveConnect do not guarantee coverage in the Weekly. Submitted material may be edited for clarity, length and style, and we may seek further information before publication. Promotional material will only be included where it has genuine relevance to our readers. Reporting & analysis ConserveConnect Weekly provides a concise view of what is happening across the conservation community. ConserveConnect News takes a different role: longer-form reporting, investigation and analysis of the forces shaping historic buildings and places — including planning, development, ownership, finance, conservation policy and public decision-making. Stories first identified through the Weekly may sometimes lead to deeper reporting where the issues merit closer examination.Selected for relevance, not bought for placement
