Strategic Review Focus Groups announced: book your place!

Posted by Bill Fraser on January 18th, 2010

In his December report to members, George Reid announces  a series of focus groups where NTS members have the opportunity to contribute their views. The first of these will be held at the Scottish Parliament on 25th January. To reserve your place, please e-mail this address marking your mail ‘Focus Group’.

If you are unable to attend these meetings you can join the On-line Focus Group here

In an interview on the Politics Show (BBC1 17th January) George Reid said “At the end of the day, it’s not a National Trust issue, it’s a Scottish issue, because it’s our land, it’s our built and cultural heritage that gives all Scots a sense of place, time and identity.” The package also featured the activities of the local group formed to stop the closure of  Inveresk Gardens.

» Strategic Review Report Published

YOUR COMMENTS REQUIRED

A FIT FOR PURPOSE NTS, is the goal of the review which recommends a programme of reform including:

  • - The number of NTS Trustees to be reduced from 87 to 15 – to give the organisation strategic direction.
  • - A new Board to be elected by April 2011 – to implement the reform agenda.
  • - A new Mission Statement to be agreed with members — to emphasise the Trust’s core conservation purpose.
  • - An audit and a full property portfolio review of the NTS estate — to determine the cost of maintenance of its estate and its future management.
  • - A five year strategic plan— to ensure that the Trust worked in future to specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound objectives.

You can download a copy from the NTS website. This report will be discussed at the AGM on 25th September, perhaps members’ only real opportunity to put their views.
