May 2024: Heritage Alliance have published a key report on the critical effect of the Cost of Living Crisis on the Heritage Sector.

The #HeritageOnTheBrink report highlights how new challenges have deepened cracks in the foundations of the sector and sets out a range of potential solutions. The report finds that parts of the sector are now on the brink of collapse, and that urgent action is needed to ensure that our living, breathing heritage is not consigned to the past.

The report calls for a range of interventions including a new Culture Growth Fund: a major new phase of investment to support the sector during the ongoing crisis, and in turn to support the wider public through the benefits heritage provides.
