Once you've had a look around our new website please help us improve your experience by taking our short survey.
With a population of around 12,000, Halstead is a market town in the north of Essex, about eight miles from the Suffolk border. It’s a very community spirited town and Halstead 21st Century Group is made up of very active residents who love our local heritage and open spaces.
We were galvanised into action in 2013 when a local woodland and heritage asset was threatened. It wasn’t long before we realised how much more built and natural heritage Halstead is home to - and how much of it is under threat. And so our small charity was formed to protect, preserve and promote as much of what's good as we can in our town and surrounding areas.
Over the years Halstead 21st Century Group has grown in size and significance and we’re now a registered charity.
We're delighted to announce that the National Lottery Heritage Fund is supporting our Readiness & Resilience project which includes the design of this website. Thank you National Lottery Fund Players!
