Nationwide net-work
There is a nation wide net-work of historic building preservation trusts
which come together under The UK Association of Preservation Trusts (UK APT).
The UK APT, a registered charity, is the only membership representative body
for building preservation trusts (BPTs) across the UK. There are over 260
member trusts. Members are offered practical advice and support on running
a BPT and undertaking building restoration projects. The APT exists to
promote the preservation of historic builds, by encouraging and supporting the
work of building preservation trusts.
Representatives of the membership meet three times a year in support of the APT's aims. In the Autumn, an annual conference is held which is open to all members. The Conference is taken to a different region each year. APT, in conjunction with the Architectural Heritage Fund, holds regional seminars to assist members in various aspects their BPT work.
Useful publications produced by the APT and available through them, are:
