About Us

Who We Are

I am Dr Yasser Arfat, an academic and community advocate in the UK. As a volunteer, I started Heritage Revival to bring together owners, tenants and professionals who believe in giving historic spaces a new purpose.

My aim is to build a trusted, open network where people work together to protect heritage, help local businesses grow and strengthen community identity. This platform exists for social impact, not profit, and is driven by a genuine desire to do good.

Support for Tenants

Choosing a heritage space is more than running a business. It is about shaping community pride and keeping shared stories alive.

We understand this journey can bring challenges. Our network of professionals is here to support you in building something special.
