The North Cotswold Association was founded in 1988. We currently have some 400 members who come from an area stretching from Shipston-on-Stour to Northleach, and Chipping Norton to Broadway.

We exist to promote and further the work of the National Trust, providing a focus in the North Cotswolds for people interested in its work, for whom we arrange a varied programme including outings, talks, fund-raising events, and holidays.

We make donations to fund specific projects at properties in and around our home territory. These have recently included the restoration of a clock and a garden sundial at Packwood House and a children’s play area at Snowshill Manor.

We are independent of the National Trust and are governed by a constitution common to all the charity’s centres and associations. We are run by a committee of officers and members who are elected at our annual general meeting held in November each year.
