Championing York's Architectural and Cultural Heritage
- York is quite clearly special; all who live in, or visit the City, know
this instinctively and the York Civic Trust's mission is to keep it so.
- By joining York Civic Trust you benefit from a strong voice which promotes the conservation of the City's unique historic fabric.
- We give expert planning guidance to local government and campaign on
major city-wide issues.
- Our independent advice to both local and national policy-makers is unfettered
by political, private, or commercial constraints.
- We make grants for the City's enhancement.
- We take a lead on major initiatives; the foundation of the University
of York, for example, and the closure of Deangate to traffic, came about
as a result of our efforts.
- Our members benefit from an exciting programme of visits and lectures.
- We publish outstanding Annual Reports and other publications that serve
as a permanent record of York's development and the Trust's achievements.
- We operate a nationally recognised house museum and mount important exhibitions
to which members have free entry.
- Our restorations of historic buildings such as Fairfax House, Peasholme
House and the Mansion House, stand as exemplars of best practice.
- The Young York Civic Trust (the first in the country) encourages young
people from all the secondary schools in York to care for their environment,
through a series of visits and events.
