- The Civic Trust of England was a charitable organisation founded in 1957. It ceased in 2009. Its prime purpose was to improve the quality of new and historic buildings and public spaces, and to help improve the general quality of urban life. The trust operated from two main offices, in London and Liverpool. The Trust supported a national network of civic societies, which are local groups in which volunteer members participate in efforts to improve their surroundings. It ran the Civic Trust Regeneration Unit, which supports urban and neighbourhood renewal through programmes which addressed issues of concern, eg the management of the night time economy. It ran campaigns in order to influence or change thinking on civic matters, and sometimes to change government policy. The Trust claimed some responsibility for the passing of the acts under which conservation areas exist in Britain today. It also coordinates Heritage Open Days as the English element of European Heritage Days. In spring of 2009, it was announced that the Civic Trust was to 'go into administration' because of a funding crisis. , .
