Connecting Communities, Celebrating Heritage, Creating Opportunities

Join One Knowsley Heritage Team for an engaging Community of Practice session exploring the Golden Thread of Heritage and how local organisations can access the Knowsley Heritage Participatory Budget.

This event is designed for voluntary, community, faith, social enterprise and not-for-profit organisations interested in using heritage as a powerful tool to improve wellbeing, strengthen community connections, and create lasting local impact.
