Thank you for your interest in joining our Board of Trustees.
The National Trust protects and cares for places so people and nature can thrive. We look after hundreds of houses and close to a million objects along with vast areas of coastline, countryside and green spaces, for everyone’s benefit. With our staff, members, volunteers and supporters, we’re the biggest conservation charity in Europe. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference.
Our priority over the last 12 months has been forming the Trust’s new strategy, ensuring that we are sustainable, relevant and fit for the 21st century. A wide consultation has been a critical part of informing our thinking ahead of the implementation of the strategy which launched in January.
We are proud of what we have achieved for conservation, climate action and nature, and as we celebrate the Trust’s 130th birthday it’s time for a vision that takes us into the future. Our new strategy sets out our aims and ambitions for the next decade and beyond.
Membership and visits to the National Trust remain the foundation of our work and we will continue to push for greater quality, greater enjoyment and more reasons to return. At its core, the strategy has three ambitious goals for 2050 that we’ll work towards over the next decade:
- To restore nature – not just on National Trust land, but everywhere.
- To end unequal access to nature, beauty and history.
- To inspire millions more people to care and take action.
We are now seeking up to two outstanding Trustees to join us at an exciting time in delivering our new strategy and the next phase of our history. People who will bring different lived experiences, fresh thinking and a desire to make a change. If this sounds like you, we hope you will be inspired to apply.
