The Guildhall Trust takes an innovative approach to diversifying and evolving cultural assets, ensuring growth, sustainability, and social impact for local authorities and cultural organisations. Initially established as a not-for-profit Distributing Organisation (NPDO) by Portsmouth City Council in 2010, Portsmouth Cultural Trust became a registered charity in 2013. Following a comprehensive consultation process and rebranding, the Trust changed its name to The Guildhall Trust in 2019.
