The Vale Heritage Centre Coalition is a group formed to convince the Vale of Glamorgan Council of the merits of a Vale Heritage Centre.

"We believe that the Vale of Glamorgan has a rich, varied and important history that should be preserved for posterity and displayed in an appropriate venue for the benefit and education of local people and visitors".
