Welcome to the Heritage Alliance AGM 2025! 🎉 Today we’ll be reflecting on the past year, inducting new Trustees and saying goodbye to those stepping down, and celebrating the work of our members. Stay tuned for live updates throughout the event 📢

Welcome to our new trustees, Deepika Kanthavara Madhava, Sophia Price and Katy Baldwin, who join our Board this year 🎉
We look forward to learning from their expertise in architecture/community heritage, landscape management, and local government/strategic finance, respectively.

Today, we say goodbye to two Trustees as they complete their terms: @PeterAiers, Master of The Charterhouse, and @JanWills5, Chair of Oxford Archaeology. They have served as Trustees for 6 and 7 years respectively and we are enormously grateful for their hard work and commitment.

@PeterAiers @JanWills5 Our Chair @CaroleSouter thanks our outgoing Acting Chair, Dr Ingrid Samuel: “As Deputy Chair, she has twice stepped in to lead the organisation at a time of great sadness and difficulty and has done so with skill, determination and great sensitivity.”

@PeterAiers @JanWills5 @CaroleSouter We have re-elected Ingrid Samuel for an extraordinary fourth term of one year. Ingrid formerly served as our Acting Chair in 2023/2024 and continues to serve as our Deputy Chair. Ingrid is Placemaking Director at the National Trust and holds an OBE for services to heritage.

@PeterAiers @JanWills5 @CaroleSouter We’re also pleased to announce the re-election of Roy Clare for an additional 1 year term. Roy has served as a Trustee for two terms with the Alliance and is an invaluable member of our Board with extensive expertise in maritime heritage and inclusive museum practices. @Swatchway

@PeterAiers @JanWills5 @CaroleSouter @Swatchway Lastly, we have re-elected Alice Purkiss for a second term of 3 years. Alice is an experienced and dedicated trustee who contributes a great deal as a super-connector between the worlds of academic research and practice.

@PeterAiers @JanWills5 @CaroleSouter @Swatchway @AlicePurk In the Chair’s Address, @CaroleSouter reflects on THA’s relationship with our members:
“The Heritage Alliance is proud to be a membership organisation. We are here to support you in the great work which you are all doing to protect, support, champion and enhance our heritage.”

@PeterAiers @JanWills5 @CaroleSouter @Swatchway @AlicePurk That’s a wrap on the Heritage Alliance AGM 2025! 🎉 Thank you to all our members, partners, sponsors and funders who make our work possible.

@Jkwaldman of @artfund, @natmelt of @CraftsCouncilUK and our CEO @heritage_lizzie are now taking the stage to explore how culture can help places thrive and drive sustainable growth.

@Jkwaldman @artfund @natmelt @CraftsCouncilUK @heritage_lizzie Jenny Waldman of @artfund says culture is not nice to have, but a must-have. Museums are in every community and have a role to play in bringing communities together. @theboxplymouth has engaged communities that are less able to access culture & brought in £14m for the city.

Today we're at the @WorldHeritageUK Spring workshop in windy Bangor, North Wales. Over the next 2 days we'll be exploring opportunities and challenges for industrial heritage ⛏️

First stop Dinorwic Slate Quarry, the second largest in the world. Tramways carried slate down to the lake, where it was taken on to Caernarfon to be shipped. 🪨 #Worldheritage

Next we're exploring the National Slate Museum, one of the oldest industrial heritage museums in the world. It opened in 1972, just 3 years after the Dinorwic quarry closed. A photography exhibition highlights the unique character of the Slate Landscape... 📸

Ten ways to encourage deaf, disabled and neurodivergent visitors. A thread about how to improve your heritage site’s pre-visit access information 👇

Developed for @HeritageFundUK #HeritageAccess22 by @VocalEyesAD @Stagetext, @CAE_info and @AutisminMuseums [0/11]

Consult deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people. Ask a range of local people who know your venue well about their experiences and thoughts about barriers to access at your venue. Consult people experienced in providing this information too! [1/11]

Think about the whole journey, from marketing and pre-visit information, getting to your venue, the entrance and welcome, and then through the venue, café, shop and even how people can leave feedback afterwards. [2/11]
