The National Trust has been in existence since 2002. During that time there have been some impressive achievements – including the planting of over 10,000 trees at the Millennium Forest – along with some of the challenges that are associated with trying to operate on a small depopulating island with few sources of funding. Now it’s time to review what the Trust has been doing and seek people’s comments and ideas about how we can improve what we deliver in future.

The Trust has embarked upon a strategy review process, so that we can reflect on our progress to date and draw up a new plan for the next five years. This will put in place a framework that enables us to grow sustainably, and will help to reduce our vulnerability to changes in key personnel.

We are especially keen to hear the views of our members and supporters. We will be sending out a questionnaire in the next couple of weeks and we hope that you will be able to take a few moments to fill this in. Your input will then help to shape the future of the Trust.

The new strategy will also give us an opportunity to remind the world at large who we are and what we do. We are planning to produce a colourful strategy document that will be launched both on St Helena and in the UK. Further details will be announced in due course.
