Going local
Annual report 2010/11
The National Trust in brief
What is the National Trust?
for ever, for everyone, throughout England, Wales and
Northern Ireland. We strive to make sure that the unique
spirit of each of our places comes to life in the hearts and
minds of visitors.

conserving beautiful places for ever, and by welcoming
everyone to experience the joy and inspiration they bring.
&
'
Our approach is increasingly local. We minimise top-down
freedom to innovate, celebrate the spirit of each place, and
build strong partnerships with local communities within a
clear National Trust framework.
We want everyone, members and non-members alike, to
feel the National Trust is part of their lives. We exist, in the
words of one of our founders, Octavia Hill, ‘for the everlasting
delight of the people of these islands’ – rich and poor, city or
country dweller, young and old.
As an independent charity, we receive no direct Government
funding for our core work. Thanks to the generosity and
active involvement of 3.8 million members and more than

The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or
Natural Beauty is a registered charity. It is incorporated,
and has powers conferred on it through Parliament by the
We believe conservation should always work hand in hand
with access. We welcome everyone to explore:
"more than 350 houses, gardens, woodlands,
monuments, nature reserves and parks;
"1,141 kilometres (709 miles) of coastline;
"extensive parts of our 255,000 hectares (630,000
acres) of land, much of outstanding natural beauty.
Only 20% of our properties can fund their own permanent
preservation. Conservation costs continue to rise: we spent
over £76 million on larger conservation projects and £33.3
million on annual cyclical repairs in 2010/11.
Our promise to care for special places for ever has the force
of law in the 1907 National Trust Act. We own most of this
natural and built heritage inalienably, so it can never be
sold or developed against our wishes without the express
consent of Parliament.

But truly bringing places to life involves researching, thinking about the whole
visitor experience and then revealing and sharing fascinating stories about
people and places.
Telling the story of the abdication weekend at Belton House in Lincolnshire,
the tragic marriage of the Rodneys at Berrington Hall in Herefordshire or a
thirties house party at Upton House and Gardens in Warwickshire provides a
vibrant, authentic experience a world away from the hushed gloom of the old
country house visit. And when a house like Barrington Court in Somerset or
Avebury Manor in Wiltshire becomes empty, we can think creatively about new
uses and presentation.

The National Trust controls the level of distribution of capital on both the Charity Commission Scheme endowment funds and other funds in line with
long-term investment growth assumptions that are subject to regular review by the Trustees following advice from the Investment Review Committee
and other external experts.
Under the rules of the Charity Commission, an endowment subject to a Total Return Order but with no unapplied total return cannot make a
distribution. All funds included in the total return policy had a positive unapplied total return at 28 February 2011.

Assets which have historic, artistic or environmental qualities and are held or maintained principally
for their contribution to knowledge and culture.
Properties partially funded by government grants, administered on behalf of the government by
English Heritage. Any shortfall in grants provided is supplemented by the General Fund.
Tasks which enhance a property or its facilities rather than just maintain them.
Cannot be sold or mortgaged – the Trust has the power under its Act to declare property
inalienable. This also means the property cannot be compulsorily purchased against the Trust’s
wishes without invoking a special parliamentary procedure.
Properties whose management is overseen by a local committee and funds are designated for the
properties’ requirements. The funds are designated by the Trustees and this is not a legal obligation.
A reserve created to guard against unforeseen falls in legacy income – to enable the Trust to
continue its conservation project work.
Net Gain is total ordinary income, less total ordinary expenditure expressed as a percentage of total
ordinary income. This means that for every 80 pence we spend on operating activities we aim to
generate at least £1 of income so that at least 20 pence is available to fund capital projects,

That part of the total return over time that has not been spent on charitable purposes.
A long-term reserve to provide investment income for under-endowed properties.
Unrestricted funds are free from any legal restriction; they include General and designated funds.

This resolution explained the contribution that property volunteers

the internal workings of the Trust to make it more responsive to the needs
of the places in its care and its membership and visitors. More work had
been done in helping houses to tell their own stories – visitors could now
expect to see people using kitchens and croquet lawns, playing pianos
possible. These were just a few examples from a determined programme of
bringing houses to life. The Chairman paid tribute to the Trust’s successes
over the past decade under the Director-General’s leadership.

glorious food’ campaign, the Trust was continuing to promote local produce
through a thousand allotments given to communities to grow their own
food, with packets of seeds given away to plant in recycled pots and window
boxes. Fifty orchards had been restored, helping to maintain many old
varieties of apple and at the same time providing a natural habitat for insects
and wildlife. Beehives had been introduced at 40 properties. Finally, the
Director-General urged everyone to support the campaign to save the Nostell
Priory Brueghel which relied on raising £2.7 million through public appeal.

This resolution invited members to approve new rules for extraordinary

recommended that the Trust adopt new rules because it wanted to

As usual, they have been generous and have pledged gifts worth well
over $100,000 to the following projects: the Gideon Tapestries at
Hardwick, Seaton Delaval Hall, Croome, the Lake District Flood Appeal,
Libraries and the Ickworth Silver Collection. They also facilitated
the gift of $50,000 from Newman’s Own Foundation for habitat
restoration in the Peak District. We are deeply grateful for their support.
Their board tour in 2010 took them to Devon where they enjoyed a
detailed tour around Castle Drogo, which is now the subject of a major
fundraising campaign to restore the roof and stop it leaking. Their
lecture series continues to be very popular, often featuring National
Trust speakers as well as experts on other heritage subjects.
