The East Kent Association is a voluntary association of National Trust members founded in 1973 to serve the area of East Kent around Canterbury. Currently there are more than 500 members.

Our objectives are to promote and support the National Trust locally and to arrange a variety of talks, visits and social events that will add interest to membership of the National Trust.

Over recent years we have supported projects at a number of local properties including the Gateway to the White Cliffs, Scotney Castle and Knole among others.

The East Kent National Trust Association is independent of the National Trust and is governed by its members under a constitution common to all the charity’s centres and associations. A programme committee takes on the organisation of events.
