Why not become a National Trust volunteer?

National Trust sites on the North Coast have some of the most spectacular and inspiring scenery to be found anywhere. The Giant's Causeway, Downhill and Mussenden Temple, Portstewart Strand and Carrick-a-Rede are all world famous.

Volunteering in these inspiring locations is a marvellous way to make a real difference. Protect and preserve these special places for the future and meet like minded people at the same time. Why not join the dedicated team of volunteers on the North Coast?

"Without the support of our volunteers we simply would not be able to open our properties or deliver a fabulous day out for people to enjoy." says Dave Morton, National Trust Community and Volunteer Officer.
