Civic Voice has just launched a new research project Protect our Place funded by English Heritage whose overall aim is to understand better the range and types of community action across England that protect and promote the historic environment.
Civic Voice writes:
Protect our place is a wide-ranging survey of current community action which exists to protect local places with the overall of providing a foundation for understanding the range and type of community action currently underway to protect local places and how this can be supported and strengthened.
As part of its National Heritage Protection Plan (NHPP), English Heritage has committed to encouraging greater active engagement in the historic environment by more people.
Civic Voice is uniquely placed to undertake this project. We are the national charity for the civic movement with a network of hundreds of volunteer-led, community based civic societies at its heart. These groups are motivated by civic pride. We have excellent networks within and beyond the heritage sector to community groups with a wider interest in place.
We propose a 9 month project starting in 2012 and this is an English Heritage funded project.
To get involved in this project, you can contact Sarah Spurrier on sarah.spurrier@civicvoice.org.uk or you can call her on 07595630017
