World Heritage UK was set up in 2015 to undertake networking, advocacy and promotion for the UK’s 29 World Heritage Sites, and the Tentative List Sites progressing towards WHS status. It has evolved out of LAWHF, the Local Authority World Heritage Forum, which was established as a LGA special interest group 20 years ago, and which did a great deal of positive action to support the UK’s Sites.
World Heritage UK is the only organisation exclusively focused on World Heritage in the UK, and the only one that is led by the Sites themselves, reflecting a community-driven approach that has proven effective at many Sites and which is favoured by UNESCO.
Our vision is that “the United Kingdom will have a coherent approach to World Heritage Sites, which will be better known and understood, and supported through sustainable funding so that their Outstanding Universal Values can provide inspiration, learning and enjoyment for society”.
Our mission is to “raise the profile and secure the future of UK World Heritage Sites by advocating for support and resources, promoting the Sites values, and facilitating networking, training and sharing of good practice”.
