Save Britain's Heritage (styled as SAVE Britain's Heritage) is a British charity, created in 1975 by a group of journalists, historians, architects, and planners to campaign publicly for endangered historic buildings. It is also active on the broader issues of preservation policy. SAVE Britain's Heritage is a registered charity governed by a board of trustees. Through press releases, leaflets, reports, books, and exhibitions, SAVE Britain's Heritage champions the cause of decaying country houses, redundant churches and chapels, disused mills and warehouses, cottages and town halls, railway stations, hospitals, military buildings, and asylums. SAVE Britain's Heritage was the first organization to campaign for the introduction of the Thirty-Year Rule, which now makes outstanding post-war buildings in England and Wales eligible for listing. Goals SAVE Britain's Heritage fights to protect British historic buildings from demolition or careless alteration. SAVE receives no statutory funding. The organisation is sustained by private donations from a range of individual and charitable donors. The charity aims to: Awaken public interest in and public appreciation of Britain's architectural heritage. To encourage the study of that heritage and related matters and to promote high standards of planning and architecture. To save from needless destruction or disfigurement, buildings or groups of buildings and designed landscapes of special historic or architectural interest. Where necessary, and with expert advice, take legal action to prevent major and needless losses. Achievements and failures SAVE Britain's Heritage always placed a special emphasis on the possibilities of alternative uses for historic buildings and has, on a number of occasions, prepared its own schemes for the re-use of threatened buildings. On repeated occasions, its proposals were instrumental in giving threatened buildings a renewed lease on life. Many of its campaigns altered the way conservation now protects Britain's built heritage.
