The National Trust Portsmouth
          and District Centre

		Founded 1982

   A voluntary association of National Trust members and volunteers

  Who we are

  The Portsmouth and District Centre was founded in 1982
  and currently has over 200 members in the area. Our objectives
  are to promote the National Trust locally, raise funds in its
  support, and arrange a programme of events and activities to
  enrich members’ understanding of its work. Among the National
  Trust properties we support are Uppark, Hinton Ampner and  
  Mottisfont. Portsmouth and District Centre is independent of
  the National Trust and governed by a constitution common to
  all the charity’s Centres and Associations. Our affairs are
  conducted by a committee of unpaid officers and members who
  are elected at our Annual General Meeting held in March each year.
  
  What we do

  Throughout the year, August excepted, members meet on the second
  Thursday of each month at 7.30pm, in the Cathedral Discovery Centre,
  Edinburgh Road, Portsmouth where there is free on-site off-road 
  parking after 1800Hrs for people attending our meetings, disabled
  facilities and no steps.
   Meetings include talks on a range of heritage and other
  subjects and members to socialise with like-minded people.  In 
  summer we arrange day visits and short-break holidays 
  to places of interest. 
   Social and fundraising events throughout the year include walks and
  coffee mornings. Various of our members also provide volunteer support 
  for the National Trust, for example working as stewards at properties or
  helping with events.
 
  How to join us

  The Portsmouth and District Centre welcomes new members. We are also 
  interested in recruiting people who would like to help with the
  organisation of our programme on either a regular or an ad hoc
  basis.  To join the Portsmouth and District Centre you must first
  be a member of the National Trust or an affiliated National
  Trust, such as the National Trust for Scotland, or be a National Trust
  volunteer. The annual membership subscription is currently £3 per 
  person. Members receive two newsletters a year and receive details of 
  our programme of events, such as talks, day visits and holidays, some of
  which are at an additional cost.
