Grantham Civic Society is part of Civic Voice. Formed over 50 years ago, we are concerned with ensuring the historic market town of Grantham with its fine red brick buildings is enhanced, preserved and adapts to the needs of the residents and businesses in the 21st Century.
Grantham Civic Society has a Planning Committee which looks at planning applications within the town boundary which affect buildings or open spaces of note.
We try to encourage reuse of redundant buildings, sympathetic renovation and good new design. Our Awards Scheme looks at New Build, Shop fronts, Building Renovation and Environmental enhancement and recognises good design and sustainability.
Rivercare is a sub group with its membership dedicated to the practical aspects of cleaning out rubbish from the river, enhancing the landscape for wildlife and people.
Grantham has been identified as a Government Growth Point and its population is set to expand dramatically by 2030. Grantham Civic Society is consulted by South Kesteven District Council and has met with English Heritage on the growth implications to the heritage of the town.

Grantham Civic Society has developed a Grantham Trump card game, in partnership with Historic England, Heritage Lincolnshire, SKDC and InvestSK. Each of the 62 cards feature a different full colour photograph of a Grantham building or place of interest, with a brief description. The game can be enjoyed by all ages and is ideal as a gift for both locals, visitors and ex-Granthamians alike. The cards are £4.99 per pack and can be collected, or posted to a UK address for £2 extra (overseas postage on application). Cards must be pre-paid before collection. They are being launched on Thursday 27 May at Grantham House and the first collection will be from there at 5-6pm. Order your pack now by emailing granthamcivicsociety@virginmedia.com
