The Association

The National Trust Bournemouth Association was founded in 1985

but is now known as the National Trust Bournemouth and Poole Association

 to reflect the area where most of its members live.

The Association welcomes members and volunteers from its area.

The Association is independent of the National Trust but is governed by a constitution

common to all the Trust's associations and centres.

Our affairs are conducted by a committee that is elected at our Annual General Meeting

held in March of each year.  Committee members hold their posts until the next

Annual General Meeting.

The Association’s objectives are:

- to promote the work of the National Trust

- to arrange a programme of events for the enjoyment of its members

- to raise funds in support of local National Trust projects 

Among the National Trust properties we support are the Kingston Lacy estate,

Brownsea Island, the Studland area and Corfe Castle.  At Kingston Lacy we have

contributed to the cost of the reinstatement of the Guido Reni fresco on the ceiling in the Library

and have paid for the provision of interpretation boards for the Bankes family, which will be put in hand during 2009.

We shall also make a contribution to the restoration of two paintings at Kingston Lacy.

On Brownsea Island we have contributed towards the cost of the regeneration of the heathland. 

and we have contributed towards the provision of a permanent habitat for bats

 in one of the worked-out quarries on Purbeck

To view what we have achieved at these properties it is best to make a personal visit to see the results.

Often you can find further information and/or images on the

website of the National Trust (www.nationaltrust.org.uk).
