Supporter groups

We have more than 200 supporter groups made up of people from Centres and Associations, ‘friends’ groups, National Trust volunteer groups and other property-affiliated groups.

This year, they generously donated £337,971.34 to support a range of work including:

repairs to the temple at Hinton Ampner in Hampshire and the chapel at Killerton in Devon
the conservation of clocks at Paycocke’s House and Garden in Essex and Coughton Court in Warwickshire, the restoration of a lithograph of Berrington Hall, Herefordshire and support for the Second World War displays at Buscot and Coleshill Estates, Oxfordshire
a rose arbour at Red House in London, maple trees at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire and the planting of spring bulbs at Morden Hall Park in London

funding coaches for school visits to Longshaw Estate in Derbyshire, adventure backpacks for children at Ickworth Estate and a family picture trail at Flatford, both in Suffolk
the provision of audio guides and mobility vehicles to make our places more accessible to everyone.

Supporter groups bring like-minded people closer to our cause. As well as fundraising and volunteering, they run activities for their members such as talks with guest speakers, holidays and property visits. The contribution they make is widely recognised across our organisation, but it is especially valued by the properties that directly benefit. We would like to thank them all for everything that they do to support us.

Eastbourne Association

Bodiam Castle in East Sussex has made a film highlighting the protected bats that roost there, thanks to a generous donor legacy gift.

I’m looking forward to seeing how visitors react to the film and seeing how we can share more positive wildlife messages in the longer term.

Beatrice Rapley, Visitor Experience and Programming Manager at Bodiam Castle

Manchester Centre

Our first supporter group, Manchester Centre, celebrated its 75th anniversary this year.

Although the Manchester Centre was the first of the National Trust Centres and Associations founded 75 years ago, there has never been a ‘local’ property. However, since 2022 we have seen a Grade II-listed viaduct being converted to a ‘sky park’ in Castlefield, the oldest part of Manchester. We were invited to view the early development. Having already made a donation, we hope to support the project in the future.

Merseyside National Trust Environmental Volunteers

People volunteer for different reasons. When I started volunteering, I was working full time in an office-based job. I have always enjoyed spending time outdoors and having visited many National Trust properties, I was interested in maintaining the many diverse outdoor spaces. I was also attracted by the fact that our group volunteers across a wide variety of properties and landscapes rather than being linked to one location. Apart from learning new skills, getting involved in practical conservation and being in beautiful open spaces, our volunteers enjoy the social side of volunteering.

Chair, Merseyside National Trust Volunteer (NTV) group

Legacies

The National Trust is extremely grateful for the gifts in wills received during the year from the estates of the following people. Without their generous support it would not be possible to look after all of the special places in our care, nor to respond to opportunities to purchase land and properties to be safeguarded for the nation.

Figures in brackets show the cumulative total received to the end of the 2022/23 financial year where gifts have been included in previous Annual Reports or Accounts.
