Preserving what matters to our community
Who are we?
Since 1995, Swindon Heritage Preservation (formerly The Mechanics’ Institution Trust) has been working to conserve the precious stories and places that tell Swindon’s story.
We are Swindon’s only building preservation Trust, combining social impact and community benefit with building restoration, conservation and history.
