About the Trust

Supporting natural, built & cultural heritage for almost 25 years

Causeway Coast & Glens Heritage Trust, an independent charity, has delivered lmost 25 years of protected area management, partnerships and projects designed to support natural, built and cultural heritage.

CCGGT recently outlined out a clear strategy for the the next chapter in its work in our very special local areas:

• Delivering a programme of high-quality protected landscape management
• Inspiring local communities
• Conserving and enhancing our natural built and cultural heritage.

We’ll do this – as always – by bringing together internal subject and project expertise, with external specialists where needed, for the benefit of all.

Causeway Coast & Glens Heritage Trust Mission:
