Birmingham Conservation Trust exists ‘to preserve and enhance Birmingham’s threatened architectural heritage and to promote an enjoyment and understanding of the City’s historic buildings’. Fundamentally we believe in working with local people to find imaginative, sustainable solutions that address local needs. By doing this we aim to:

• create better places in which to live, work and play
• enhance local distinctiveness and create a new identity for the City that integrates the best of the old with the new
• form partnerships with local communities, with business, industry and the voluntary sector
• empower communities within the City to help improve their environment for the better
• act as a catalyst for urban regeneration in rundown areas of the City
• contribute to the local economy by drawing funds into the City and encouraging tourism and leisure
• combine the best of modern design with the use of traditional construction skills

On top of this: We actively seek to encourage access and promote enjoyment of the City’s historic buildings by:

• taking part in the Heritage Open Days in the City
• giving talks and lectures to local groups
• staging exhibitions and events linked to our projects
