Join Y Pwyllgor advisory group
Y Pwyllgor advisory group is a crucial part of achieving our work in Wales, and we’re looking for new members. If you feel you can volunteer your external insights, experience and passion to help shape our work, then we would love to hear from you.
The National Trust was established in 1895 by people who believed that we all have a fundamental need for access to nature, space and beauty, and that special places need protection.
Y Pwyllgor advisory group is crucial to our work in achieving this in Wales today, and we’re looking for new members.

Join Y Pwyllgor advisory group
We're looking for volunteers to join Y Pwyllgor, our advisory committee.
We are looking for volunteers who are based in Wales who can advise us, think creatively about the opportunities our nation offers, and bring new connections and perspectives in delivering our strategy and plans in Wales.
A quote by Lhosa DalyNational Trust Cymru Director for Wales
Y Pwyllgor advisory group
Y Pwyllgor is one of two country and four regional advisory groups across the National Trust in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Y Pwyllgor has up to nine members who advise, support and challenge the Director for Wales and her team to develop our thinking on strategic priorities, themes or projects.
Members of Y Pwyllgor bring their knowledge of Wales, as well as insights, networks and innovation from external organisations and sectors to help the National Trust look after special places for everyone, for ever in Wales.
It’s the passion of our people and supporters that makes the National Trust a special place to work and volunteer. People are the key to our success. If you feel you can volunteer your external insights, experience and passion, then we would love to hear from you.
We’d love the experiences and perspectives on Y Pwyllgor to be as diverse as the urban and rural communities across Wales, and as varied as the stories of our places, people and collections. If you don't think that you're a 'typical' National Trust visitor or supporter, then you're probably just the sort of person who can help us.

This is an opportunity to play a part in restoring and protecting some of Wales’ finest historic houses, archaeological remains, scheduled monuments, coastline, woods, farmland, nature reserves, gardens and landscapes.
At the core of all Y Pwyllgor’s work is thinking about how to make the special places we look after more accessible to as many people as possible.
