Regeneration
The Civic Trust has almost 50 years of experience in providing practical plans for the revitalisation of villages, towns and cities. These plans are carefully developed to make sure that they meet the needs of stakeholders from local authorities to local residents.
From early street improvement schemes in the 1960s to recent NightVision projects in Swindon and Castle Morpeth, the Civic Trust has made a difference to towns and cities around the country.

We assemble bespoke teams for projects comprising core staff and a regular circle of associates and sub-consultants. We also join other teams and consortium bids.
As a non-profit distributing organisation rooted in the third sector, we have an independent view, and act as ‘honest broker’ to build consensus between the public, private and community/voluntary sector.
