Glasgow Building Preservation Trust:
Glasgow Building Preservation Trust was established in 1982 to rescue, repair, restore and rehabilitate historic buildings of architectural merit which through neglect or abuse may otherwise be lost in Glasgow and the surrounding area.  The Trust makes a major contribution to Glasgow's regeneration through the preservation of its built heritage and organises the annual Doors Open Day event in Glasgow.

The Merchant City Townscape Heritage Initiative:
This is an urban initiative at the historic and cultural heart of Glasgow and has seen a tremendous rebirth in recent years. The Merchant City Townscape Heritage Initiative has been at the forefront of many changes through its co-ordination of two main programmes of grant aid and strategic visioning.
