A culture change at the national trust..?

Here's some quotes from the national trust strategy document Going Local (and the reason i joined the organisation - to work on volunteering & community invovement):

"This strategy means nothing less than a cultural revolution for the Trust. It demands a new mindset and a new way of working."

1. A small, determined pressure group has evolved into today’s mass movement. It belongs to you whether we’ve paid a subscription or not.
2. We were founded more than a century ago for the benefit of the whole nation, including those who still feel that the National Trust is for some reason ‘not for people like us’.
3. we want wherever possible to make our answer ‘yes’ not ‘no’.
4. Each property must nurture a web of human links.
5. We must challenge the perception that we are some sort of exclusive club for connoisseurs.
6. we will change our mindset from owning places for people, to owning places with them.
   We must renew these relationships to foster a greater sense of shared ownership.
7. Some people still feel that the Trust is exclusive or remote. We will involve them in our decisions and challenge our own tendency to act as proprietors not facilitators.
8. We’re developing open dialogues with local communities about new uses for our properties.
9. We are rethinking how we use our land in a more creative way.
10. By the early 1990s the village school, shop and pub in Cwmdu, near Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, had closed – a real loss to this rural community. The Trust bought the rundown terrace, which included a pub, shop and two dwellings, to help preserve the hamlet, working together with the local community.
11. It’s time to move from a hierarchical approach.
12. We are starting: new opportunities for public access to our land for food production.
13. We pledged 1,000 new allotment ‘growing spaces’ by 2012 as part of our Food Glorious Food campaign. We gave away 750,000 packets of seeds and held over 1,100 food events.
14. We want to put all our places back a the centre of community life
    we will ensure our properties are more widely available for local community groups for activities and meetings; — hold regular social events for neighbours and friends in the locality; — encourage dialogue and local participation in decision-making; — advocate local procurement and recruitment policies to bind our places more closely to their surroundings.
15. We have begun to shift from a preoccupation with ownership towards maximising the benefits we can offer, especially to our nearest neighbours
     Thirty plots at the thriving community allotment scheme at Gibside are being used by community groups and local people,
16. We have begun to foster better cooperation with our neighbours and local organisations.
17. We are a rare thread of continuity in an unstable world.
