Associations promote the work of the South National Trust and make membership and Association volunteering more enjoyable and allow members to share their interests with like- minded people in their area.

Through an organized year-long programme of talks, outings and holidays, members make new friends, learn about the National Trust and its properties, and raise money to support its work.

Ashridge Membership is open to anyone who would like to support our work. You do not have to be a member of the National Trust.
