"130 years ago to this day, the National Trust was set up by three people who believed passionately that our national heritage and landscapes deserved protecting for future generations," National Trust director-general Hilary McGrady, told MailOnline.
"Fast-forward to 2025 and it is one of the largest landowners in the UK, with more than 500 historic properties, gardens and nature reserves," highlighting the Trust's growth and impact over the years.
"Perhaps the typical perception of a National Trust property is one once inhabited by an eccentric royal or prominent statesman with a taste for rare artwork and lavish drapes - but not every one is like this." This statement stresses the diversity of National Trust properties.
"Just as it is people who have made the National Trust what it is over the last 130 years, it is people who will shape our next chapter," indicating the ongoing importance of community involvement.
