The current coronavirus outbreak is understandably causing concern amongst our membership and the sector more widely. We are doing everything we can to advocate on behalf of the sector at this challenging time, including through regular meetings and communications with DCMS. We continue to update our members through regular emails with guidance and support. We have also created a live COVID-19 Guidance Hub for the wider sector, which we will continue to update as the situation develops. During the COVID-19 crisis, Heritage Alliance Members are able to access exclusive offers and expert support, guidance and resources. If you aren’t already a member of the Heritage Alliance, you can join us today to start benefitting from these offers and join England’s largest coalition of heritage interests.
