COVID FRIENDLY VISITS
Site visits are fully Covid risk-assessed. Groups can be as small as necessary and social distancing guidelines will be followed at all times.
ABOUT
Proud Places is a London-wide education programme inspiring young people with the world around them. Using heritage projects we introduce children aged 7 and upwards to important themes in everyday places… the hidden stories of London and why they matter.
Through free site visits and school workshops, this is a chance to find out about buildings, conservation and craftsmanship – what you never knew about the city all around you.
The programme helps young people improve their life choices as well as their life skills. It has been developed with our Proud Places Young Ambassadors and will run for three years, with funding from the Jones Day Foundation.
