The National Trust
The National Trust is Europe's leading conservation charity, and is committed to preserving special places for ever, for everyone. The Trust depends on the income it generates from its rental properties, and could not deliver its core objectives without the support of thousands of tenants and volunteers.
The successful tenant will receive Tenant-Custodian membership of the National Trust which entitles them to free access to Trust properties across England and Wales.
