Building Preservation Trusts
The Heritage Trust Network is the voice for building preservation trusts promoting and supporting the rescue and sustainable use of historic buildings. A Building Preservation Trust (BPT) is a not-for-profit organisation whose main aims include the preservation and regeneration of historic buildings.
​
Over 230 BPTs are members of the Heritage Trust Network. The majority of BPTs are rooted in their local communities. Some cover individual towns, cities, or whole counties. Others specialise in particular types of building. A few cover the whole of the UK. Some were formed to save just one building and others, known as revolving fund trusts, seek to conserve a succession of buildings by repair and finding suitable alternative uses and/or owners.
​
Building preservation trusts frequently provide a means of addressing heritage at risk. They may acquire sites direct from the owner or from a local authority that is exercising its compulsory purchase powers.
