Conservation Skills and Interpretation Project

              

After successfully being awarded £177,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Knowsley Council has now begun the Conservation Skills and Interpretation Project, ‘Look to the Future: Celebrate our Past’.  This important two year project (2008 to 2010) will offer an exciting programme of activities  that we hope will appeal to all ages.

The various elements of the project include:

• Two Heritage Celebration Days
• The Young Conservation Officers Group
• Traditional skills training in college
• 'Have a Go' days in local schools
• Interpretation panels
• Heritage walks
• The Knowsley Commemorative Plaque Scheme

Leading the way

Knowsley Council is leading the way in the North West by highlighting the shortage of traditional building skills and supporting the future recruitment of skilled craftspeople by working with our children and young people.

The Conservation Skills project has been identified as a model of good practice by the Heritage Lottery Fund and other local authorities and organisations are being referred to us for partnership working and to share our knowledge and experience.

This is an opportunity for the council to give our young people an advantage in the competitive world of work.
