The ‘Heritage Counts’ reports, published annually by Historic England on behalf of the Forum, provide data on the heritage sector in England and the value of heritage in our society. The series includes: An Overview of the sector; ‘Heritage Indicators’; ‘Heritage and Society’; ‘Heritage and the Economy’; ‘Heritage and the Environment’; a thematic issue every year.

HEF collaborates with Historic England for the delivery of Heritage Counts.

In 2020 the thematic issue focused on reducing Carbon emissions in the built historic environment: ‘Know Your Home, Know Your Carbon‘.
