Reflecting on recent achievements, it’s clear that the heritage sector continues to play a vital role in the nation’s economy and culture, despit ongoing challenges at all levels.
In mid-2022 the Heritage Sector Resilience Plan 2022-2024 was published by the Historic Environment Forum (HEF), with support from Historic England. The plan aimed to bolster sector recovery in the wake of the pandemic, to ensure a strong and strategically connected historic environment sector capable of delivering public value through heritage. Three years on from its publication, many of the collaborative actions identified in the plan have been successfully completed.
The 2024-25 edition of the Historic Environment Overview celebrates the impact of such strategic collaboration on preserving our heritage and recognising its value across all walks of life. The report is structured around the themes of the Heritage Sector Resilience Plan 2022-24:
- Skills
- Strong Governance
- Climate Change
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Embedding Heritage in Wider Public Policy
