The aims of the Partnership are to coordinate local and regional organisations representing religious, academic, research, education, government, business, community and voluntary interests to promote the conservation, improvement and interpretation of the Abbey of St Edmund to local people and to visitors for public information and enjoyment.
The Abbey of St Edmund Heritage Partnership aims to enable the diverse interests of its members to unite towards a common goal and to achieve a better understanding of the spiritual, cultural, historical, archaeological and environmental significance of the Abbey of St Edmund and the River Lark Valley.
The Partnership is a collaboration between St Edmundsbury Cathedral, West Suffolk Council, Bury St Edmunds Town Council and the Bury Society, together with other local and regional organisations and various individual partners.
