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.

From the Network
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.

Contribute
ConserveConnect Weekly depends upon information from across the
conservation community. If something important is happening in
your area, profession or organisation, we would like to know about it.
A few clear details are usually enough for us to begin.
Please include, where relevant:
You do not need to write an article.
Send us the facts, links and supporting material. Where a story
is suitable for the Weekly, we can edit and present it in the
appropriate format.

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
The Weekly gives you the briefing. News goes deeper.
One useful email each week — conservation news, buildings at risk, campaigns, traditional skills, grants, jobs, events and opportunities from across the conservation community.
