Spalding & District Civic Society was founded in 1960. Registered as a Charity in 1969, we are a non-political, volunteer-led organization, that aims to bring together individuals who care deeply about the character, vitality, and future of our town and its surrounding district. Our mission is to champion thoughtful development, protect local heritage, and to encourage a greener, more vibrant town.

We do this by:

• Monitoring planning applications and challenging poor-quality or harmful proposals.
• Collaborating constructively with South Holland District Council and other bodies, while standing firm when needed.
• Promoting the health and appeal of the Town Centre.
• Keeping abreast of the best practice  in placemaking and encouraging its adoption locally.
• Encouraging the planting of  trees and raising awareness of environmental conservation.
• Proposing ideas for regenerating neglected sites.
• Conducting surveys to inform and inspire local improvements.
• Reviewing listed buildings and the Conservation Area to safeguard our architectural legacy.
• Celebrating the history and heritage of the town.
• Running a blue plaque scheme to mark individuals who have  made a significant, positive contribution to human welfare or  happiness  or have made an exceptional impact  in their field, the local community or on society at large.

We are a member of Civic Voice the national charity for the Civic Movement in England.
