About us In 1895, our founders, Octavia Hill, Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley, pledged to preserve our historical and natural places. Their aim was not only to save important sites, but to open them up for everyone to enjoy. From this trio of environmental pioneers, the National Trust was created – and their original values are still at the heart of everything we do 125 years later. As Europe’s largest conservation charity, we look after special places for the nation to enjoy. We rely on our millions of members, volunteers, staff and supporters. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to protect the miles of coastline, woodland and countryside, and the hundreds of historic buildings, gardens and precious collections that are in our care. The National Trust cares for: • more than 500 historic houses, castles, parks, and gardens • more than one million items in our collections • more than 250,000 hectares of land • more than 780 miles of coastline This Annual Report can also be viewed online at www.nationaltrustannualreport.org.uk The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty is a registered charity (no. 205846). It is incorporated and has powers conferred on it by Parliament through the National Trust Acts 1907 to 1971 and under the Charities (National Trust) Order 2005.
