Welcome to the Reading Centre of the National Trust
The Reading Centre is one of around 250 local groups that support the work of the National Trust. We aim to add something extra to your membership of the National Trust.
The Reading Centre is very active with a varied programme of visits, talks, social events and holidays. Some activities include visits or reference to National Trust properties, many will not. They are all organised by volunteers who have the ethos of the National Trust at their heart. Through these activities, funds are raised which are donated to National Trust properties and members have an enjoyable time with like-minded people.
This season’s activities are listed in the sections below. If you are already a member of the Reading Centre, more details of these activities are given in the Members Area. If you are a National Trust member or volunteer and interested, we would like to welcome you into our friendly and active group.
