This training programme is targeted towards volunteer workers, charitable organisations and individuals seeking to learn skills in support of other educational or long-term employment opportunities, particularly for women and minority groups that are underrepresented in this field. The future expansion of this programme will include more complex heritage-focused construction skills, such as those relating to retrofitting and services installation, and we are in the process of developing a library of heritage building trades, materials and services with which to provide complementary advice and demonstrations.

 

With useful, practical knowledge imparted by skilled Conservation practitioners, our goal is a renewed focus on practical skills within communities to benefit their shared heritage assets, promoting sustainable building techniques informed by traditional building skills and heritage crafts at risk of being forgotten.

 

SCT are continually building connections with likeminded organisations to establish site-specific maintenance training programmes tailored to the specific needs and unique characteristics of their heritage assets, working together to protect and restore the invaluable pieces of history that make our communities so special.Businesses or tradespeople working in the conservation field who would like to take join with us in this initiative can contact us at info@sustainableconservationtrust.com
