The Primrose Trust was formed to help and encourage people to conserve small structures and to undertake early remedial work instead of waiting until there is a major problem. This philosophy ensures that buildings are better maintained and there is less loss of historic fabric. Trustees, aware that there are many other trusts supporting this type of work in the UK, are restricting their remit to the island of Ireland. The Trust will also support well-researched publications on aspects of Ireland’s built heritage and designed landscape.
