Briefing Note: Culture and Heritage Capital Programme

We have published a briefing note that walks you through the timeline and major developments of this DCMS programme, and that explains how it is relevant to the heritage science community.

In January 2021, the UK Government Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) launched the Culture and Heritage Capital Programme (CHC). 

This programme seeks to establish a standardised, consistent economic approach for calculating the value of cultural heritage assets. The hope is that this guidance will better equip people and businesses in the cultural heritage sector to assess the benefits of heritage assets and make business decisions accordingly. 

We have published a briefing note that walks you through the timeline and major developments of the programme, signposting you to key documents and aspects of the programme that are most relevant to the heritage science community.
