Glasgow Building Preservation Trust (GBPT) is a charity dedicated to restoring and repurposing historic buildings for community benefit. Since its founding in 1982, GBPT has delivered over 30 major restoration projects and supported many more, saving significant buildings and landmarks that would otherwise have been lost. They are Glasgow's leading heritage regeneration specialists.
Beyond direct restoration, GBPT supports communities in exploring and celebrating their heritage. They also coordinate the annual Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival, Scotland's largest celebration of built heritage, which was introduced to the UK in 1990. The Trust works on a range of project types, broadly categorised into buildings, consultancy, and engagement, managing the entire restoration process for their own projects and partnering with other organisations to share expertise.
GBPT has invested over £53 million in the city through its restoration projects, creating significant economic impact and jobs. They have received numerous awards for their work, including the Doolan Prize, Civic Trust Awards, and RICS awards, contributing to positive publicity for Glasgow. The Trust's work is underpinned by a commitment to environmental sustainability, community enhancement, and economic regeneration.
