Active Participation
This is our strategic approach toward working together with more people, and a more diverse range of people, to take action in support of the historic environment.
We value all actions from the small to the big. This is important because engagement with heritage has a positive impact on people’s lives, so goes right to the heart of our purpose at Historic England.
We want more people to be able to experience the benefits of heritage – from wellbeing to sense of community, to local pride and economic value. It is because we believe that these benefits will only grow the more people there are adding their perspectives, energy and ideas to shaping and championing the places and traditions that make up our ever-evolving sense of heritage.
Read our Future Strategy for more information on how we’re working with people to do this through Active Participation.
