Founded in 1978, Birmingham Conservation Trust is one of over 250 building preservations trusts in the UK. The Trust is a registered independent charity and a company limited by guarantee with a separate trading arm. We are funded partly on a revolving fund basis i.e. from surplus generated by the sale or lease of restored properties and partly from project management fees. We receive in kind support from Birmingham City Council.

As a charity we are eligible for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, as well as other public bodies and private charitable trusts. Low interest loans and feasibility study grants are available to the Trust through the Architectural Heritage Fund.
