London Historic Buildings Trust welcomes you to a special training opportunity as part of our popular 'Building Futures' community training programme.

Led by London Historic Buildings Trust this training session explore how local authority-owned heritage assets can have a sustainable, impactful future for communities, and how to lay the strongest foundations when starting out.

The workshop is aimed at those local authority officers new to heritage projects, including staff within communities, regeneration, property, parks or other teams who are responsible for a heritage asset within the Council. Attendees will be interested in learning what the responsibilities are as the owner of a listed building; the opportunities and challenges for finding a new, or enhanced, future for heritage assets; and how these important parts of our landscape have the potential to bring a variety of benefits to communities.

We will be covering:
