Why you should join join your local Civic Society!

Plymouth Civic Society was established in 2007 as a non-political organisation for the public benefit and for the following purposes:

• To promote public interest in Civic Design in Plymouth.
• To stimulate public consciousness and appreciation of the beauty, history and character of Plymouth and its surroundings.
• To encourage the preservation, development and improvement of features which enhance the attractiveness of the area.
• To pursue these objectives through meetings, lectures, study groups, cultural activities, exhibitions, publications and social activities.

Join us in promoting appreciation of Plymouth's fine heritage and environment!  By joining, you are able to meet with similarly motivated people; influence and participate in discussions about current issues; raise and elicit support for matters of particular importance to you; and get involved in consultation processes with the benefit and advantages arising from a considered group perspective.

Many members are also involved in Friends groups, Conservation groups and local Action groups and see Plymouth Civic Society as an overarching society that brings their group to a wider forum.

Plymouth Civic Society is a Member of the Civic Trust and a Member of the Environmental Law Foundation.
