Members' Centres and
Friends' Groups
You are welcome to this Website, provided by the Glasgow Members' Centre, which is intended to make free Webspace available for National Trust for Scotland support groups to post their programmes, contact points, notices and any other matters of interest.
If you would like to add more details about your Members' Centre or Group please contact the Web Editor at editor@ntscentres.org.uk. No technical knowledge needed - you provide the information, we will do the rest!
There are now 20 National Trust for Scotland Members' Centres, Members' Groups and Friends' Groups throughout Scotland, one in Cambridge and one in London. Members of the National Trust for Scotland can join one or more of the groups, usually on payment of a small annual membership fee. Most are also open to members of the National Trust for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Membership of a Centre adds value to your NTS or NT membership by giving access to the social programmes.
The National Trust for Scotland is a registered Scottish Charity ( Charity Number SC 007410 ). The individual Members' Centres and Support Groups are separate organisations set up by Members of the Trust. Many, but not all, are charities in their own right. They are independent of the National Trust for Scotland but aim support the work of the Trust.
The Centres give an opportunity to share interests and find out more about the Trust and Scotland's heritage. Most have varied programmes of talks, social events and day outings throughout the year. Many also arrange longer tours or holidays. A number provide support, both financially and in kind, to specific properties or areas of the Trust's work. Members' Centres provide a very valuable contribution to the NTS. They give financial and practical support, including fund raising, recruitment, property guiding, running shops and undertaking conservation work at a local level.
