Glasgow Building Preservation Trust is a charity which rescues and re-purposes historic buildings across Glasgow.

We have a legacy of over 40 years of working throughout the city, returning buildings at risk back to their communities from The Briggait, to Castlemilk Stables, Glasgow’s blue police boxes and amazing places like Kelvingrove Bandstand.

We introduced Doors Open Days to the UK and still run the much-loved Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival every September, providing free access to historic buildings and exclusive talks, walks, tours and other experiences.

We believe deeply that heritage and history are for everyone and work hard to help Glaswegians remember and celebrate their city’s stories.

We encourage applications from people with experience in finance, law or fundraising/philanthropy at this time, but we are also interested in good people from all professional backgrounds.

The board meets four times a year, and trustees might also attend interim and sub-committee meetings and Trust events in addition to this.
