We are delighted to announce that in March, Stephanie Hall-Stead, Director of Evans & James Heritage Consultants, was appointed as a Trustee of the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF). This prestigious appointment reflects Stephanie’s extensive experience in heritage conservation, project management, and building surveying, as well as her commitment to supporting the long-term future of the UK’s historic buildings.
The AHF plays a crucial role in helping communities across the UK rescue, repair and re-use historic buildings, transforming them into vibrant, inclusive and sustainable places. Through its funding, expert advice and sector leadership, the AHF drives community-led regeneration by providing grants and loans to organisations seeking to bring heritage assets back into meaningful use.
Stephanie commented:
“It’s an honour to join an organisation making such a tangible impact on people and places. Historic buildings are a vital part of our shared story, and I look forward to contributing to the AHF’s mission to help communities protect and sustainable new uses for these important spaces.”
Stephanie’s appointment reflects Evans & James’ ongoing commitment to supporting heritage-led regeneration projects. As a specialist heritage consultancy, we work with clients such as the National Trust and community organisations to manage and conserve historic buildings, ensuring they remain sustainable, accessible, and relevant for future generations.
