Established in 2002, The Heritage Alliance is a membership body which represents the independent heritage movement in the UK. As such, it has a unique role, promoting the sector in all its diversity.

Our annual Heritage Debates aim to be at the forefront of discussions about issues and insights in the heritage sector. Each debate centres on an issue or goal for the heritage sector and seeks to spotlight diverse voices on each topic.

After each debate, the Alliance conducts follow-up projects to explore further issues raised.
