What we do
We undertake research and education projects about built and natural heritage; organise talks and events; monitor and comment on planning applications; and periodically compile leaflets and books. Funds are generated through sponsorship and membership, with grant-aid obtained to finance specific projects. The Foyle Civic Trust is a founder member of the Walled City Partnership, which manages the Walled City Townscape Heritage Initiative.
