The Prince’s Regeneration Trust works with communities throughout the United Kingdom. We aim to ensure that important buildings at risk of demolition or decay are preserved, regenerated and re-used.
Our ethos leads us to socially and economically deprived areas; places that will benefit most from the regeneration of the wider community. We champion the value of partnerships and work closely with building owners, developers, community groups, local authorities and other public bodies to find sensitive and sustainable new uses for buildings at risk.
Buildings, like people and places, need to adapt to survive. Our projects give redundant buildings a viable and long-term future keeping them at the heart of the communities in which they stand.
