With coast and countryside, houses and gardens to care for, we really do rely on the kindness of our supporters to continue to make a difference.

Here are just a few of the projects that have been transformed by your generosity:

St Agnes Head and Trevellas Coombe, Cornwall
The acquisition of this Cornish coastline means that the beautiful headland will now be open for everyone to enjoy. Home to important wildlife and pre-historic archaeology, the newly acquired land boasts spectacular views and a popular beach cove.

Powis Castle, Wales
12 magnificent Caesar Busts were restored to their original location in the 18th-century Long Gallery in Powis Castle. Now all visitors to the Castle can admire the majestic grandeur of the sculpture gallery.

Museum of Childhood, Sudbury Hall
The Museum of Childhood has been transformed. Shut throughout 2007 for a huge overhaul, visitors can now explore eight new galleries, reminisce over the toy collection throughout the ages and get involved with the interactive displays that the museum now boasts.

Morden Hall Park, London
The perfect London escape, Morden Hall Park is an oasis in the city, consisting of meadows, wetland and a magnificent rose garden, boasting over 2,000 varieties of roses. Improvements were made to the paths, meaning that more people can now enjoy a breath of fresh air in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Croft Castle, Herefordshire
Repairs to the slate roof, stone chimneys and castellations of Croft Castle, a 17th-century house near Leominster are well underway. The roof repairs are essential to keep the outer shell of the castle in working order and the building watertight.
