Tuesday 26th February 2019, Kellogg College, Oxford OX2 6PN
All tickets via: www.htvf.eventbrite.co.uk

Protecting our Heritage Assets: Community involvement in recording and regenerating local heritage.
Tuesday 19th March 2019, Kellogg College, Oxford OX2 6PN
As local authorities’ resources are further constrained, many are looking to local communities and experts for support in preparing heritage-related materials. Ranging from undertaking conservation area appraisals, surveying for Heritage at Risk registers, drawing up evidence to support local lists of assets, communities are stepping into these roles with considerable success. This seminar is an opportunity to hear more about how this can be done and how to manage expectations.
Coming in Spring-Summer 2019:
Buxton: Creating Resilient Cultural Heritage, including a visit to the newly redeveloped and restored Buxton Crescent, Natural Baths and Pump Room, Buxton.
York: Planning for the future with heritage in mind, hearing about plans for the redevelopment of York Guildhall, the Castle Gateway quarter, Hungate and other major sites in this historic city.

Could you become one of our amazing box collectors?
We are currently looking for some fabulous volunteers to become box collectors in the Covingham, Old Town and Penhill areas. Our box collectors are an extremely important part of our volunteer team, as they collect the household boxes in their neighbourhoods, allowing us to generate more income from within the community. Not only does it make it more convenient for people to donate, it also allows those who are limited in mobility to still be able to collect using their household box.
If you think you are able to help or would like some more information on this role, then please give Alex a ring on 01793 816163 or drop an email to alexandracooper@prospect-hospice.net.
Remembering someone you love
Prospect Hospice have launched a new outdoor Memory Tree, situated within their private Remembrance Garden in Wroughton. Each copper or stainless steel leaf hanging on the new Memory Tree will be engraved with a name, making it a poignant and lasting way to remember loved ones.
The Memory Tree leaves are available to anyone who would like to create that special lasting tribute to their loved one, even if you have not previously been directly involved with Prospect Hospice.
The contribution you make for your leaf will help Prospect Hospice to support and care for people affected by a life limiting illness, in the local community.
To find out more about the Memory Tree and how you can order a leaf please contact 01793 816111 or email dataadmin@prospect-hospice.net.
