Founded by Fionnuala Jay-O'Boyle CBE DL in 1996, BBT has long held an awareness of the need to foster civic responsibility and engagement to help protect and regenerate Belfast's historic buildings. To this end, the Trust assumed responsibility for the organisation of the Northern Ireland Schools Debating Competition from Belfast Civic Trust some years ago.
Additionally, BBT plays an active role in advocacy and lobbying with government departments, fellow preservation trusts and other bodies interested in preservation and regeneration. It is a member of the UK Association of Building Preservation Trusts and a leading organisation in the Built Heritage Forum as well as a sister organisation of the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or projects:
“The content of a thought depends on its external relations; on the way that the thought is related to the world, not on the way that it is related to other thoughts.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
