In November 2020 the Heritage Trust Network conducted their first, entirely digital conference.
The theme was ‘Grassroots Heritage: Empowering Recovery’, with a focus on presenting case studies, top tips and practical guidance for Heritage Trust Network members and the wider community.
With many attendees completing the follow up survey after the event, we are delighted to now share the feedback received – that by all accounts, the event was a success!
