Interested in making the most of the National Trust near you? Join your local group to enjoy special interest talks, visits, holidays and other social and fundraising events.

You'll also be helping a great cause - local groups support the work of the charity and raise hundreds of thousands of pounds every year for our conservation and access projects around the country.

About the group

Founded in 1981, the Peak District Centre has around 400 members. Many of them live in the Peak District National Park but others live in places around the National Park. There is no geographical limit on membership, which is open to members of the National Trust and affiliated organisations and to holders of a valid National Trust Volunteers Card.

Our objectives are to support and promote the National Trust and to make National Trust membership even more enjoyable by providing a varied programme of activities for our members. Activities include holidays by coach, day trips by coach, regular talks and town and village guided walks

Properties that we have helped recently include Lyme Park (Library and Lyme Missal project), Hardwick Hall (sponsorship of two stonemason apprentices), Ilam Park (new visitor centre), Marsden Moor (Footpath improvement), Eccles Pike (Memorial) and the Longshawe Estate (Training an Assistant Warden)
