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.

About the group

Our Association was established in 1991 to provide a forum for those wishing to learn more about the National Trust. Members of the National Trust and Scottish National Trust plus volunteers are welcome into our Group. We mainly draw our members from south east Northumberland but some come from Newcastle and North Northumberland and we are happy to welcome anyone who is prepared to travel to Hexham where we meet.

We support all of the properties within the North East with donations and the provision of volunteers. Over the last few years we have provided financial support for Wallington, Cragside, and the Northumberland Coast and this year we have given our support to the Seaton Delaval Appeal.

During the winter months we arrange monthly talks and during the summer day trips and a 3-4 night holiday to a more distant area.

We are a relatively small (our current membership is 172) and friendly group who try to make anyone joining us very welcome.
