Swindon-based heritage charity, founded 1895 (8,5)

I believe the answer is:

national trust

(Other definitions for national trust that I've seen before include "Heritage organisation" , "Society concerned with preservation" , "Conservationist organisation" , "Heritage conservation charity" , "Conservation organisation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
