The National Trust in brief

What we stand for

Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.

What we do

We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. Many millions share the belief that nature, beauty and history are for everyone. We look after the nation’s coastline, historic sites, countryside and green spaces, ensuring everyone benefits. We show the value of heritage and natural places by encouraging people to help look after them through promotion and partnerships.

Why we do it

Nature and the historic environment are under threat. They’re essential to everyone, they enrich people’s lives and are part of the fabric of society and they urgently need more care.

Where we do it

From wild and precious places to the world outside your window, the National Trust offers access, enjoyment and a chance for everyone to help out.

Who we are

With our staff, members, volunteers and supporters, we are the biggest conservation charity in Europe. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference.

Our values

Love people and places
Welcome everyone.
Think now and for ever.
Make it happen.
