Heritage Action is a rallying point for anyone who feels that society is deaf to the threats to heritage places, especially the most threatened of all, our most ancient sites. We want to help individual voices to be heard loud and clear by the public, the media and the authorities.

We believe that this generation holds its heritage in trust for future generations and we should never break this trust. From this comes our single purpose — to build a powerful voice for action on all threatened heritage places.

We aim to promote an appreciation of the value of these places, highlight threats to them, and encourage the public to become involved in responsible but vigorous action to preserve them.

We are not a bureaucracy or a commercial organisation, simply a collection of ordinary people throughout Britain and Ireland who are unified by a concern for heritage places. People like you!

You may already support a heritage body, such as the National Trust or English Heritage, as do many people here. But we believe that heritage protection is not always as strong or as responsive as it should be, so a unified public voice is often also needed. If you agree, you are already one of us! If you know of a threatened site please tell us, we may be able to feature it or, if you wish, you may be able to build or promote your own campaign here under the Heritage Action banner.
