Heritage Council
Content
The Heritage Council seeks to protect and enhance the richness, quality and diversity of our national heritage for everyone. It works with its partners, particularly at local level, to increase awareness of our national heritage.
Heritage Partners
The Heritage Council has a complex national brief. This fact, combined with Council’s relatively limited resources, places a very heavy and welcome reliance on the Council to work with others to achieve its aims. Our partners at all levels include:
- Local (including Local Authorities, Heritage Officers, heritage fora, community groups)
- Regional (including regional assemblies and tourism boards)
- National (including government departments, semi-state agencies, cultural institutions, NGOs, professional bodies)
- International
The Heritage Council has also established a number of satellite organisations and provides core funding for these and other partner bodies to help deliver its programme. All aspects of the Heritage Council’s strategy are delivered in association with one, or a combination, of these partners.
