Through our 30 years-experience of successfully delivering heritage projects across the capital, London Historic Buildings Trust has built up a wealth of knowledge.
It’s a key aspect of our Trust’s operations for us share this knowledge with other groups and organisations through training. We want to help build capacity across the sector and maximise our impact through helping others finding innovative and socially beneficial ways to re-use our capital’s heritage.
The training programme is split into two strands:
1. BUILDING FUTURES: in person training sessions exploring the fundamentals of developing and delivery a heritage project. This training is focused on supporting groups and organisations in London that are in the early stages of developing a heritage project.

2. HOW TO: short (45-minute), focused information and advice sessions on a particular element of a heritage project, plus Q&A. Delivered online and free to join, they will commence from April 2022.
