Welcome to APT - The UK Association
of Preservation Trusts

UK APT was established in 1989 to assist building preservation trusts to save historic buildings for future generations.

We provide an invaluable network of specialist support and advice as well as offering opportunities to share problems and solutions.

Building Preservation Trusts are driven by local communities for local communities and breathe new life into old buildings. They act as catalysts to social and economic  regeneration and provide exemplars of best practice in design and conservation work.

“We know these are challenging times for Building Preservation Trusts, but we cannot afford to lose the momentum that has been building up over the past 20 years since UK APT was formed. Building Preservation Trusts deserve far more recognition for the role they have played and will play in helping to rescue and repair damaged parts of the historic environment. UK APT looks forward to working with its partners to raise the profile of Building Preservation Trusts as key delivery vehicles for regenerating local communities.” – Dr James Moir, Director
