'ASPIRE’ is an acronym for ‘Audience Development for Sacred Places in the Regions of England’.  The initiative seeks to take forward key actions recommended in the ‘Sacred Britain’ strategy (November 2006), guided by a national steering group under the auspices of Sacred Britain Tourism Partnership.  The Heritage Lottery Fund provided a grant to fund planning work.  There is no activity in Cumbria but there are pathfinder projects in Liverpool and Manchester.  Click here for more information.
