Heritage Toolbox West Yorkshire Learning Programme

Heritage Toolbox aims to help community organisations engaging with built heritage to build their resilience and capacity through a number of learning and skills workshops.

The programme has been commissioned by West Yorkshire Combined Authority as part of their ‘You can make it here’ investment.  

Through a series of workshops, participants will build their knowledge and skills around key topics. The workshops will be administrated by Heritage Network and delivered by Locality and will be offered both in-person and online. Details of in-person workshop dates and locations can be seen below, with the online sessions repeating the in-person workshops at a later date.  

In order to be able to book onto the workshops, organisations must have filled out the expression of interest form (https://www.tfaforms.com/5166148 )
