Heritage Keepers Projects
We are incredibly proud and grateful of all our previous Heritage Keepers participants, who have shown an inspiring amount of pride in their place and proven themselves to be wonderful stewards of their community. Here are some of the actions they have taken to promote or preserve their local built, cultural, or natural heritage.

What is the Heritage Keepers programme?
Testimonial
I feel the very act of focusing in on our local space, through the different heritage lenses, just that close looking and discussion awoke or deepened in many of the children their sense of belonging in their communities, their sense of pride in their place and ultimately a sense of agency in regard to it.
