We are a group of 18- 30-year-olds and early career professionals who are passionate about heritage and want to make our voices heard in the sector.

We co-produced our goals and plan our programme in order to realise them. We meet monthly and organise regular activities to help us achieve our aims.

Now 250-strong, we have achieved a great deal. We have hosted a Careers Panel and Speed Mentoring event, produced regular blogs, started a podcast channel, started an advice library, and consulted and collaborated with heritage organisations.

We’ve also spoken at the Network’s conference in Dunfermline and created a series of active sub-groups such as EDI, placemaking, podcast and carbon literacy. You might be interested in our Placemaking Manifesto!
