The Forum used to hold quarterly meetings but these have been suspended as most or all of the Forum’s area is covered by heritage networks based upon district council or unity authority boundaries.

Exciting Free Heritage Opportunities for Schools

The Forum has published a booklet for schools that describes the activities and learning experiences that Heritage Groups in North West Leicestershire can offer to support schools in the delivery of the national curriculum.
Many activities are more than just history, they include English, mathematics, geography and other subjects.
