The enjoyEngland blog The South East England Berry Province - idées weekend vacances et sorties en Berry Tourism2012 Home Page : Tourism 2012 Games The global exposure that Britain enjoyed in 2012 provided an unprecedented opportunity for VisitBritain to ensure that the whole of the UK visitor economy benefited from the 2012 Games. It gave us a platform to promote the wider messages and interests of destination Britain, to deliver and showcase a world class welcome in 2012 and beyond, and to maximise the economic benefits of tourism across the UK. Read our review of the impact of the London 2012 Games overseas. Our mission was not just to promote the few weeks of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was to make full use of the opportunities to promote destination Britain before, during and after those few weeks, to reach new customers in emerging markets and to refresh our appeal in core markets. This section provides details of VisitBritain’s Games-related activities and achievements.

National Heritage Memorial Fund 34 years of saving the UK's heritage The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) was set-up in 1980 to save the most outstanding parts of our heritage at risk of loss to the nation, as a memorial to those who have given their lives for the UK. The Fund receives grant-in-aid from the government and is due to receive £20m between 2011 and 2015, allowing for an annual budget of £4m-£5m. NHMF is unique in its ability to provide financial assistance towards the acquisition, preservation and maintenance of such a wide range of heritage treasures from trains to masterpieces, wildlife havens and manuscripts. The recent purchase of the St Cuthbert Gospel, for example, joins a diverse range of over 1,200 iconic objects and places which have been safeguarded by the NHMF over the last 34 years, including; It is hard to think of such iconic heritage leaving the country or even simply rotting away, yet without the NHMF, many treasured items and places would have been lost.

Listed building A listed building, in the United Kingdom, is a building that has been placed on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. It is a widely used status, applied to around half a million buildings. The statutory body maintaining the list in England is English Heritage; Cadw (The Historic Environment Service of the Welsh Government) in Wales; Historic Scotland in Scotland; and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) in Northern Ireland. The term has also been used in the Republic of Ireland, where buildings are surveyed for the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage in accordance with the country's obligations under the Granada Convention. A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without special permission from the local planning authority, which typically consults the relevant central government agency, particularly for significant alterations to the more notable listed buildings.
