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

Abingdon Association draws its membership from the area between Oxford and the Berkshire Downs and our programme aims to add value and fun to supporting the National Trust.

The programme of summer coach trips and holidays allow members to enjoy some of the Trust’s properties further away with most visits taking place in the summer months but we also visit historic towns such as Bath and Brighton ‘out of season’. The talks programme which takes place through the winter enable us to keep in touch with one another and entertains us while the National Trust’s properties are closed.

The success of our programme allows us to fund and support a number of National Trust properties and wider appeals; amongst them are Great Coxwell Barn, Greys Court, Basildon Park and Chastleton House.
