About the Trust
The Blackpool Civic Trust was formed in February 1975 with the intention of encouraging and supporting the town of Blackpool and its people. Our objectives and aims are to stimulate a sense of Civic Pride to promote high standards of planning and architecture and to secure the preservation, protection and improvement of features of historical or public interest.
The Trust is a non-political, non-sectarian organization serving only the interests of the people. Throughout the year we make numerous visits to places of interest and have a wide variety of talks covering the history and future development of Blackpool. We have been instrumental in many varied projects throughout our short history.
The Trust keeps an eye on Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas maintaining an interest in areas relevant to Blackpool’s status as a premier resort. The Blackpool Civic Trust initiated the forming of the Friends of Stanley Park – the first parks’ Friends group in the town.
It is a grassroots member of the national Civic Trust and is part of both the North West Association of Civic Trusts and Societies (NWacts) as well as the Lancashire Federation of Civic Societies.
