Civic society

In the United Kingdom a civic society is a voluntary body or society which aims to represent the needs of a local community.

A civic society may campaign for high standards of planning of new buildings or traffic schemes, conservation of historic buildings, and may present awards for good standards. They may organise litter collections or "best kept village" cleanups. [1]

Civic Trust

The Civic Trust is the organisation which represents around seven hundred local civic societies in the UK.[2][3]
