New Client: Heritage Crafts

/in , /by

The Evaluator is delighted to be working with a new client, Heritage Crafts.

Heritage Crafts is the national charity for traditional heritage crafts in the UK. Working in partnership with the government and key agencies, they provide a focus for craftspeople, groups, societies and guilds – as well as individuals who care about the loss of traditional crafts skills. They work towards a healthy and sustainable framework for the future.

Heritage Craft’s charitable purpose is to advance public knowledge and appreciation of traditional and heritage crafts in particular, but not exclusively, through education, advice and training.

They describe themselves as:

“Heritage Crafts is the national charity for traditional heritage crafts. Working in partnership with Government and key agencies, we provide a focus for craftspeople, groups, societies and guilds, as well as individuals who care about the loss of traditional crafts skills, and work towards a healthy and sustainable framework for the future.

We are a UNESCO accredited NGO for Intangible Cultural Heritage and advocated for UK ratification of the 2003 UNESCO Convention of the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which was announced by the UK Government in December 2023.”

Shaping a Resilient Future for Heritage Crafts is a project designed to build the resilience of the organisation. Heritage Crafts has grown rapidly over the last four years and is also at the end of a period of change – moving from trustee led to having paid staff.

This project will run for two years and is funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It will focus on governance, fundraising and broadening the offer of support to a wider range of people, including under-represented communities.

The Evaluator is looking forward to working with and evaluating the Shaping a Resilient Future for Heritage Crafts project.
