DHBTis a ‘Building Preservation Trust’ (BPT) with charitable status. As such, it is in a position to raise and co-ordinate various forms of finance such as grants from central and local government. low-interest loans from the Architectural Heritage Fund. and donations, gifts in kind, and concessionary loans from companies, charities and the general public. The primary aim of the trust is to rescue and preserve and restore historic buildings in and around Dumfries (and potentially across D&G) that are at risk of decay or depredation that could lead to their being irreparably damaged — or lost forever. Trust develops and operates a ‘revolving fund’ for the restoration or conservation of historic buildings, to enable their continued and sustainable use. We exist principally in order to save high risk, low return historic buildings in which nobody else is prepared to invest. The Trust keeps a watching brief on historic buildings at risk locally, and encourages their care.
