Northern Ireland

The Network has more than 60 members all over Northern Ireland and we bring them together through a lively programme of in-person and online networking events.

Our work is led by our Development and Outreach Officer who provides members with support and advice and organises events. That post is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Department for Communities, and we work closely with them to develop community heritage organisations and promote heritage-led regeneration in Northern Ireland. We also work withthe Architectural Heritage Fund, Ulster Architectural Heritage, the Rural Community Network and local authorities. Our work is supported and guided by our Northern Ireland Committee.
