Shropshire Hertiage Forum

The Shropshire Heritage Forum is a place for learning about and advocating heritage in Shropshire. It is based on the belief that collective representation generates shared strength through a pooling of energy, ideas and resources.

It has been supported by Shropshire Council and (as was) the Department of Culture, Media and Sport through the Renaissance programme for the West Midlands since 2003. 

The membership has grown to around 40. This ranges from small independent volunteer run museums such as Northgate Museum in Bridgnorth, Council run such as Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, Shropshire Archives to National bodies including the National Trust and RAF Museum, Cosford.

The Forum meets about 4 times a year for either information sharing or training purposes. These meetings are a vital source of information and provide an ideal opportunity for similar organisations to discuss/compare their projects and help each other with potential existing concerns. Forum members often open their doors to use as venues for these events and the Forum is always looking for new locations.

The Museum Development Officer currently acts as the admin support for the forum and can signpost people to the right information and opportunities. To join the forum or to request more information please contact Judith Karena. Phone 07852424331 or email: judith.karena@shropshire.gov.uk
