The merger of The Prince’s Regeneration Trust and The Prince’s Foundation for Building Community, to become part of The Prince’s Foundation has just been announced, simplifying structures to strengthen the Prince’s provision of services for the built environment.
Ian Marcus writes:
‘I am delighted to inform you that The Prince’s Regeneration Trust (PRT) is joining forces with its sister charity, The Prince’s Foundation for Building Community (PFBC). Both charities were established by HRH The Prince of Wales and this move will create a strong and resilient built environment charity with an enhanced focus on heritage and regeneration.’
The Prince’s Regeneration Trust will become part of the Prince’s Foundation alongside PFBC’s international arm, INTBAU. PRT, under the leadership of Executive Director Rosie Fraser (currently Director of Operations at PRT) will continue, under the PRT brand, to deliver a programme of advisory work on heritage projects and its highly regarded BRICK community education programme. The PRT team will be based at PFBC’s Shoreditch offices and Rosie will work closely with PFBC’s CEO David Toman.
PRT’s own subsidiary charity, the United Kingdom Historic Building Preservation Trust, which owns the award winning Middleport Pottery and other sites, will operate as an independent charity with Peter Jenkins (currently Finance Director and Company Secretary of PRT) as its CEO. It will continue to be chaired by Stephen Musgrave and HRH The Prince of Wales is delighted to continue as its Patron.
‘I will be joining the board of PFBC and look forward to working alongside its Chair, David Brownlow, to ensure the delivery of the HRH’s vision for the built environment and the continuation of the great work of The Prince’s Regeneration Trust. I hope that PRT’s many friends and supporters will join me in welcoming this news.’
‘As you know our current CEO, Ros Kerslake, is leaving to join the Heritage Lottery Fund. We wish Ros all the very best and look forward to working with her in her new role.’
