  • Annual Report 2013/14 the National Trust in Brief
    National Trust Annual Report 2013/14 The National Trust in brief What is the National Trust? We are a charity founded in 1895 by three people who saw the importance of our nation’s heritage and open spaces, and wanted to protect them for everyone to enjoy. More than 115 years later, these values are still at the heart of everything we do. We look after special places throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland for ever, for everyone. We look after coastline, forests, woods, fens, beaches, farmland, moorland, islands, archaeological remains, nature reserves, villages, historic houses, gardens, mills and pubs. We restore them, protect them and open them up to everyone. For the Trust, conservation has always gone hand-in-hand with public access. We welcome everyone to explore: • 742 miles of coastline • Over 247,000 hectares of land • Over 350 historic houses, gardens and parks, ancient monuments and nature reserves Many of our properties are unable to fund their own permanent preservation. The cost of caring for them is high: our property project expenditure was £91.3 million in 2013/14. Most of our property is held inalienably, so it can never be sold or developed against our wishes without the consent of Parliament. We rely on the support of our members, donors and volunteers, as well as income from grant making bodies and commercial activities such as retail and catering, to look after the special places in our care. The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest and 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.

    . R A B I newsWINTER 2014 THE MAGAZINE OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION Charity and the welfare state Page 4 Harvest festival thanks Page 11 SUPPORTING FARMING FAMILIES WWW.RABI.ORG.UK From the chairman After an incredibly mild autumn for most of us, winter did eventually arrive and thoughts turned to all those events that our wonderful county groups In this edition do so well, raising funds, awareness and hopefully spirits! The social, community aspect of such gatherings make them such fun for all involved but also highlights the fact that many of those we aim to assist often suffer from isolation and a feeling of living outside the sort of lives that many of us take National news for granted. The idyllic rural life is not always as wonderful as it Pages 3 - 7 might appear, and our hard-working welfare team constantly see how the realities of often remote surroundings impact, especially when funds are in short supply. During a recent visit to Australia, I heard how similar issues for far-flung communities there were also causing great concern. Thankfully a better understanding - and openness - about mental Feature - The gift of life health and other resultant issues bodes well for the future, although sadly, the equivalent of R.A.B.I. Pages 8 - 9 does not exist ‘down under’ and we should think ourselves lucky that previous generations had the foresight to create this incredible organisation. Closer to home, Welly Week has again proved a great success and provided much scope for novel fundraising opportunities. The Christmas season will no doubt also stimulate much innovative Regional news event planning, although as the time of family festivities and fun approaches, please spare a Pages 12 - 19 thought for those whose circumstances allow for little celebration.

If you look at the small print of major historical events Pilgrims show up with alarming frequency unlike any other organisation in the world. It seems the US monetary system itself is crawling with Pilgrims.” “Remember when I said that the Bilderberg Group was a red herring?” (Found at Logistics Monster, “This IS the center of the web—meet The Pilgrims Society,” citing my work and that of Joel Van Der Reijden). ********** #34 ends the current series!
