Community Engagement Webinar Series
In September and October 2023 Historic England ran a series of free webinars providing advice and guidance on subjects requested by our High Streets Heritage Action Zones partners.
Each webinar brought on board experts from across the communities and heritage sector to offer advice and share learning from real world examples.
Subjects ranged from community asset transfer processes through volunteer management and community-led research projects to funding. If you would like to propose a subject for a future webinar drop us an email at [email protected]
