About the Society 

The Civic Trust is the national umbrella body for 850 Civic Societies. Representing 250,000 people Civic Societies are voluntary organisations promoting high standards of planning, conservation and regeneration for the benefit of their local community. They also undertake practical projects, including restoring old buildings, improving the quality of public places and finding solutions to traffic problems.

Civic Societies have a formal role as community watchdogs commenting on planning applications for new buildings and developments and guarding against unsympathetic changes to Conservation Areas and historic buildings.

By pooling the resources of Civic Societies the Trust has campaigned successfully on issues such as reusing derelict land, reducing the damage done by heavy lorries and safeguarding the vitality of our towns and villages.
