The IHBC is delighted that Adam Hitchings of the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) will speak at the Day School of the institute’s 2023 Annual Swansea School, informing the School theme of ‘Climate Change and the Historic Environment’ by exploring sustainability and improved energy performance in heritage practice.
… adapting, retrofitting and reusing historic buildings can be a central part… [in tackling the climate crisis]
Adam Hitchings said of his presentation: ‘The climate crisis is the biggest risk facing life on the planet and adapting, retrofitting and reusing historic buildings can be a central part in how we tackle this ever more urgent crisis. We want to help organisations reuse buildings but also to help them ensure their buildings and operations reduce and mitigate their impact’.
Adam Hitchings, the Architectural Heritage Fund’s Wales Development Manager advises charities and social enterprises to build their capacity, resilience and readiness to undertake a heritage project and manages the Wales grant programme which provides early project stage seed funding.
The Architectural Heritage Fund helps communities across the UK find enterprising new ways to revitalise old buildings offering advice, grants and social investment for social enterprises which either operate from or are planning on taking ownership of a historic building.
