Exploring Heritage
James Watt

Legacy WM began to operate its own heritage trails, focused on local history, architecture and culture. A fascinating blend of historical roots and contemporary details, our heritage trails have gone from strength to strength. We also undertook a feasibility study funded by NLHF and Natwest to explore the potential of a People’s Heritage & Arts Centre here in Birmingham. Although this concept did not progress further, we learned from this process in developing our heritage offer.

Cultural Food Journeys worked with young people to get and discuss intergenerational cuisines, snack-foods and rediscovering South Asian dishes that may have fallen out of favour with some. We encouraged young people to actively consider their dietary choices.
