Events

We often hold events or workshops which are designed to help support volunteer led groups or small grassroots organisations who are just starting out on the process of saving their local buildings. 

Many of our training activities are also appropriate for those already experienced with heritage projects but who wish to refresh their knowledge. 

London Historic Buildings Trust is a recognised CPD provider with the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).

'Building Futures' Training

Building Futures is LHBT’s in-person training programme, aimed at those who are new to developing heritage projects, including individuals, community groups, local authorities, or anyone else who is interested in undertaking a project to save or promote a part of London’s heritage for the benefit of its communities.

'HOW TO' Training

HOW TO is LHBT’s online, short and sweet, training programme, also aimed at those who are new to developing heritage projects, but who perhaps have less time to attend an in-person session.

Each session is 45 minutes and focuses on one key topic, or theme, for developing sustainable, socially focused heritage projects.

Since 2023, we’ve delivered HOW TO sessions on topics including RIBA Stages, Funding, Evaluation, Project Management, Planning Policy and Consents, ESG, and many more.

15th Sep: HOW TO: Deliver Community Research Projects (1.15-2pm)
 
18th Sep: HOW TO: Identify Sustainable New Uses (1.15-2pm)
