Historic England Support for NP11 Place and Culture Partnership 2024/25

About

Historic England Limited awarded a contract to Cheshire and Warrington LEP for continuing support of the NP11 Place and Culture Partnership in 2024/25.

The contract value was £10,000.

The project involved contributions from Arts Council England, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Environment Agency, and Natural England, with all five ALB contributions match-funded by NP11/the emerging Pan-Regional Partnership, resulting in a total project budget of £100,000.

Since 2019, Historic England has engaged with the NP11 umbrella body for Northern local enterprise partnerships to promote a strategic approach to place-based investment across the North.

This included co-sponsoring NP11's Place Strategy for the North (2022), which highlighted Place as an untapped opportunity for economic outcomes and community wellbeing.

The key objective was to advocate for heritage's relevance to Northern economic growth and development, and to demonstrate Historic England's contribution to Levelling Up.

The Place Strategy was publicly launched at the Convention of the North in January 2023.
