Friends of Abingdon Civic Society

Abingdon Abbey Buildings Trust

The Friends of Abingdon Abbey Buildings Trust is our “sister” organisation, both having grown out of the original Society set up in 1944.

We work closely with the Abbey Buildings Trust and they, in turn, support our activities in fostering civic pride, and promoting the civic life, heritage and environment of the town.

The aims of the Abbey Buildings Trust are:

• to care for the Abbey Buildings and site (all listed and part of which is a scheduled monument), primarily through their preservation, restoration, development and maintenance which is a continuation of the work of our predecessor charity, The Friends of Abingdon
• to provide public access for all to the Buildings and to promote their use as a centre for community activities
• to act as a gateway for both local people and visitors to the long and rich history of Abingdon
