A Heritage and Cultural Strategy for the Isles of Scilly

The Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has drawn up draft guidelines encouraging local authorities and other regionally based agencies to formulate local cultural strategies. This strategy fulfils that requirement.

It has five primary objectives:

  • to quantify the essential qualities that form the unique heritage and cultural identity of the islands
  • to provide a strategic framework within which to develop action programmes
  • to assist in the prioritising of options for the application of resources
  • to provide policy objectives against which to measure progress in the delivery service across the heritage and culture sectors.
  • to assist the local community to identify with the rich heritage and traditions of Scilly and engender a sense of ownership and participation in the policy making process
