Join a local supporter group in Warwickshire to meet other National Trust members and volunteers who feel passionate about the same things. There are five different groups to join, with activities including visits, special interest talks, conservation tasks and social and fundraising events. Read on to find a local organisation or click on a supporter group’s name in the menu to jump to its details.

Why join a supporter group?

Getting together with other National Trust enthusiasts, members and volunteers who feel passionate about the same things is priceless. Sharing unique experiences and finding out more about the places you care about is what being part of a local National Trust supporter group is all about.

From listening to expert talks and going on behind-the-scenes tours to taking relaxing holidays or restoring natural habitats in the great outdoors, you’ll be part of something amazing. Supporter groups promote and assist the National Trust’s work within their local area and raise money for conservation and development projects through all kinds of events.

Coventry Centre

The Coventry Centre was founded in 1957 by two enthusiastic National Trust members and currently has 89 members drawn from Coventry and the surrounding areas. They are a friendly and welcoming group who enjoy monthly meetings and summer outings as a way of socialising and visiting special places whilst also raising funds to support the National Trust.

Over the years the Coventry Centre has raised thousands of pounds in support of the Trust. They have contributed to many projects such as the Seaton Deavel Hall restoration, restoration of a clock at Baddesley Clinton, the planting of trees and shrubs at Packwood, contributed to the Peak District Ash Die Back Appeal and have provided two wheelchairs and a mobility scooter for Charlecote Park.
