Originally organised as part of the programme Heritage 2020, Foresight Days bring together member organisations of the Historic Environment Forum (HEF) to discuss relevant themes for the future of the sector.

In 2021 the Foresight Day focused on Collaboration for Heritage Recovery, building on the work carried out by HEF and Historic England in early 2021 with the production of the Heritage Recovery Plan.

The objectives of the 2021 Foresight Day were:

• To complete the action plan for the different sections of the Heritage Recovery Plan, suggesting all necessary collaborative actions to build it, plus consider any new actions which should be added to the recovery plan for each theme.
• To discuss collectively three of the topics of the forthcoming Heritage Statement (announced by the Heritage Minister Caroline Dinenage MP at the Alliance’s Heritage Day 2021).
