Heritage Crafts Association
The Heritage Crafts Association is a registered United Kingdom charity set up to support and promote traditional crafts.
The charity was launched at the Victoria & Albert Museum in March 2010, with a membership programme for supporters.
The HCA initiated a 30-minute adjournment debate on the state of traditional crafts in Westminster in June 2009.
In May 2017, in association with The Radcliffe Trust, the Association published the HCA Red List of Endangered Crafts. This publication was also covered on Woman's Hour.
The HCA holds the secretariat of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Craft, which first met on 16 October 2018 and is chaired by John Hayes MP.Trustees and patrons
