How we are set up

Uffington Heritage Watch Limited is a community benefit society, registered in December 2014 with the Financial Conduct Authority.

We are organised according to a co-operative business model. Proceeds from the enterprise will be reinvested into furthering our social and environmental mission to protect and promote understanding of heritage in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire.

We are democratically controlled. Members have one vote, regardless of whether they hold more than the one (£1) share that they purchase on joining.

The members elect Officers annually at the Society AGM.

How we work

Every voice counts when it comes to managing and improving the historic, natural, and built environment that forms the landscape we live in. Everything that Uffington Heritage Watch does will bring the influence of local people to the development and delivery of the local services that impact on our heritage.

People need to feel that their environment belongs to and reflects them and their local community. Heritage needs to feel accessible, and the heritage profession needs to be practical and dynamic and to act on behalf of local people. Uffington Heritage Watch seeks to provide professional conservation and archaeological research and education services to the community, working closely with all local stakeholders.

What we do

Uffington Heritage Watch is an independent organisation. Because we are not-for-profit, we are eligible to apply for Heritage Lottery Funding for our community projects. We can also exercise community development and planning rights under the Localism Act 2011.

• We will provide you with information about local heritage

• We will listen to your views and experiences, and invite the local community to participate in heritage projects

• We will use your views and make them known, in order to influence how local Planning and Heritage services can be improved in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire
