Civic Voice - the national charity for the civic
movement – today announces the launch of the English Heritage sponsored
‘Protect our Place’ website.
Protect our Place (www.protectourplace.org.uk)
is a research project to understand the different types of current
community action taking place across England to protect and promote
local heritage.
The websites main feature is the interactive map
for groups to upload their projects onto, and discover other work both
locally and nationally. It will be searchable via theme or location, and
is free to all community groups working to protect or promote the
historic environment. We urge all heritage volunteers not only to use
the map and connect with the wider heritage network, but also to
discover all of the resources available to them on the site.
Sarah
Spurrier, Project Manager said ‘the website being up and running is
extremely exciting. It now means that there is a resource out there for
all community groups not only to celebrate their own projects and inform
people about what they do, but also for networking, for new volunteers,
and professionals. The website marks a new phase for community
interaction, and can only strengthen the great work which is already
being undertaken throughout England.’
Steve Graham, Chief
Executive said, ‘This is a really great project which will really help
to support community action in the historic environment. By working with
a variety of partners and community groups, we hope to ensure the
website benefits everyone in the heritage movement.’
