About the Ouseburn Trust The Ouseburn Trust is an independent charity, committed to working with others to achieve a vibrant, diverse and sustainable future for the Ouseburn Valley. Our core objectives Property We are responsible for managing and maintaining several properties in Ouseburn, ensuring they remain accessible, affordable and fit for purpose. With the support of our Planning & Development Group, we also provide constructive comments about regeneration projects happening in and around Ouseburn. Heritage Whilst we're always looking towards the future, we value Ouseburn's heritage and are committed to preserving, remembering and respecting the area's rich history. We are responsible for managing the Victoria Tunnel, ensuring it's accessible to the public and can be used as a tool for learning. Public Realm We want to protect and nurture the Valley's natural environment, but our commitment to the public realm goes beyond that. We help keep our public spaces tidy and work with local authorities to help manage our streets and transport. Community anchor Our goal is to be representative of our volunteers, residents, neighbours and visitors. We strive to use our platform to give a voice to our community.
