It has been used over eight years to address urgent conservation defects, invest in new visitor facilities and exhibitions, and update the presentation and interpretation of smaller sites.<\/p>\n<p>The grant has almost been spent, while a lifeline series of Covid-19 recovery grants has ended. The combination of the two presents English Heritage with a financial challenge in the coming years&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021\/22, English Heritage spent more than in any other year on conservation and maintenance, including \u00a314.4m on core building and landscape and \u00a312.2m on major conservation projects.<\/p>\n<p>Staff numbers dropped from 2,245 to 2,117, while the charity\u2019s gender pay gap narrowed from 10.3 per cent to 7.8 per cent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdsector.co.uk\/english-heritage-reports-big-rise-income-membership\/finance\/article\/1805850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.english-heritage.org.uk\/siteassets\/home\/about-us\/annual-reports\/7308-eh-annual-report-2021-22-password-protected.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The conservation charity has a record 1.18 million people signed up, but its chair warns of \u2018challenges\u2019 ahead. image: for illustration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35201"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35203,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35201\/revisions\/35203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
