PARTNERSHIPS

At Local History Hub we’re proud to support the UK Holocaust Memorial Map and the work of the Association of Jewish Refugees, building a partnership that places remembrance and observance at the heart of what our hubs do.

At Local History Hub, we’re proud to partner with The Black Curriculum, a pioneering organisation working to embed Black British history into classrooms across the UK. This partnership supports our shared mission to make history inclusive, place-based, and representative. Together, we’re helping schools and communities explore stories that reflect the richness and diversity of our shared past, ensuring every learner sees themselves in the history they study.

Local History Hub is pleased to be discussing a partnership with Civic Voice, the national charity for the civic movement in England.

Local History Hub is proud to partner with A Day of Welcome to champion welcoming, inclusive practice in schools. By connecting teachers with community heritage, we help pupils explore identity, migration and belonging through local stories. Together we aim to make it easier for schools to access trusted, classroom-ready materials that link local histories with national conversations about welcome and sanctuary.

Local History Hub is delighted to be developing a national partnership with English Heritage, who share our commitment to supporting young people’s engagement with local history, heritage, and place. English Heritage is a charity that cares for over a million objects and 400+ historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. They offer free self-led visits, expert-led Discovery Visit workshops, and a wide range of free downloadable resources to help bring history to life for learners and create unique and memorable school trips. 

Together, we’re exploring how English Heritage’s Learning and Participation Officers (LPOs) can connect with our school-based Local History Hubs across the UK, from offering tailored CPD and learning opportunities, to signposting schools towards relevant regional sites and resources.

This developing partnership reflects our shared belief in the power of local heritage to inspire curiosity, build community connections, and open up pathways into the sector. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to supporting our shared networks through joined-up offers and collaborative working.

Local History Hub and Historic England’s Heritage School’s Programme are excited to explore ways that we can work together to help more schools use local heritage with confidence. We’ll share relevant opportunities and stay in touch hub by hub as the partnership develops.

At Local History Hub, we’re excited to be developing a new partnership with the Irish Diaspora Histories Network. Together with Dr Sophie Cooper, we’re planning a workshop for the 2026–27 academic year that will support teachers to explore Irish migration at primary level. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to helping schools approach complex histories with confidence and care.

Local History Hub is excited to be exploring a partnership with Kids in Museums, a national charity making museums more welcoming for children and families.

We share a commitment to helping young people connect with heritage and see themselves represented in the sector. Together, we’re looking at ways to showcase careers in museums and local history, especially through initiatives like Takeover Day.

This developing collaboration aims to support schools in building stronger links with local museums and inspire the next generation.

Local History Hub is proud to be working in partnership with Kimyo, a new platform designed to help children and young people discover museums, galleries and heritage sites.

Through this partnership, we’ll be signposting Kimyo across our website and key resources, highlighting its free access for low-income areas and its advert-free approach. Kimyo also offers curriculum-linked lesson plans for educators and an easy way for families to explore cultural opportunities by topic or location, with museums and galleries able to keep their listings up to date.

At Local History Hub, we’re proud to partner with the Migration Museum, whose work highlights the vital role of migration in shaping who we are – past, present and future. Through this partnership, we’re supporting schools and local communities to explore stories of movement, identity and belonging, ensuring that these narratives are represented and celebrated across our national network of history hubs.

We are proud members of The Heritage Alliance, the UK’s largest coalition of independent heritage organisations. This membership connects us with a national network dedicated to promoting the value of heritage and influencing policy across the sector.

We are proud members of GEM (Group for Education in Museums), the UK’s leading voice for heritage learning. This membership connects us with a vibrant professional community committed to championing education within museums and heritage settings, supporting high-quality learning experiences for all.
