Grassroots Gatherings

Over the last year the Scottish Community Heritage Alliance has been hosting our Grassroots Heritage in Scotland roadshows throughout the nation, inviting grassroots heritage groups to tell us their concerns, share their successes, and to network with others. Inevitably many of you will not have been able to attend. As a result we are hosting six online discussion sessions, where we welcome everyone - including those who attended the in person events and want more opportunities to interact with others in heritage at a national level.

While there are several key themes which have emerged from the roadshows, we want to have wide and open discussions.

What do you think is the chief problem facing your group just now?
Do you have any successes to share relating to these problems or in general?
What do we need to address these problems (simply more money is not the answer)?
Can you think of ways to collaborate with other groups in the future?
What support can SCHA offer to help in the future?

Join us for one or more of the sessions – we will encourage as much discussion and interaction as possible! It’s a chance to meet others, share thoughts, and contribute to ideas for the future. We’ll then also report back in the SCHA newsletter and share resources and ideas on the website.

Grassroots Gatherings will be held via Zoom at 7-8pm on the following dates:

26th August - General Discussion
18th September - Volunteering
30th September - Fundraising
9th October - Social Media & Marketing
28th October - Signposting Resources
