Tyne and Wear Building Preservation Trust

Tyne and Wear Building Preservation Trust (T+WBPT) was established in 1979 to preserve the architectural heritage of Tyne and Wear through the repair, conservation and regeneration of our historic buildings and structures. 

Today we work in close collaboration with communities, funders, volunteers and end users across all five Local Authority areas in the Tyne and Wear region to rescue, restore and safeguard buildings and structures under threat. Our work has evolved considerably in recent years, expanding to work along both rivers to include parts of County Durham and Northumberland, and to achieve strong social and environmental aims through our core ethos of Heritage Better Managed.  
 
In March 2021, we moved from Alderman Fenwick's House, one of our restoration projects, to John Marley Lodge at the John Marley Centre in Scotswood.
