It has highlighted the need for accelerating innovation in areas such as skills and workforce development, income generation and visitor experience.<\/p>\n<p>We recognise that we have a unique role to play in this space, in line with the vision set out in our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagefund.org.uk\/about\/strategic-funding-framework-2019-2024\">Strategic Funding Framework<\/a>\u00a0of inspiring, leading and resourcing the UK\u2019s heritage to create positive and lasting change for people and communities, now and in the future.<\/p>\n<p>This is a critical point to ensure opportunities to accelerate the innovation needed to tackle longer term challenges are not lost.<\/p>\n<h2>We need your help<\/h2>\n<p>Your insights are vital to this work. We want to add value to work already underway across the heritage sector and beyond, rather than duplicating it.<\/p>\n<p>There are three key ways to get involved at this time:<\/p>\n<h3>Receive updates and attend our workshops<\/h3>\n<p>On 19 and 20 April we\u2019re running a series of workshops. These will provide an opportunity for us to explore different challenges together and for you to contribute your own perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll look to share early insights from the project as it progresses. On 5 May, we will host an early \u2018show and tell\u2019 from this discovery phase where you can feedback on early findings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfsw-7OKBGGZjBPfvFMi4kxjQ_ItpffM7LWSUxpKEm0myGu1w\/viewform\">Register your interest for these workshops and events<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Tell us about your insights<\/h3>\n<p>We recognise the challenge of engaging with new initiatives right now.

This is fundamental to our work partnering with The Young Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>We will proactively reach out to a diverse range of voices beyond existing networks.
