"If we're to truly to fulfil our original, radical purpose, we have to reach out in this way – to local residents, to people who feel the National Trust isn't for them. We have to make contact with people in a new way.."
So what might this mean - here's some some suggestions from me:
- Hyper-local = Going-Local, discover possibilities together.
- When we were little we were all artists, inventors, engineers and visionaries of a new world.
- New community culture/ - school plays, dressing up, camping or vegetable plots.
- Releasing community potential close to where it lives.
- Tapping into the wealth of knowledge and experience that exists in our vast supporter base.
- Using buildings in different way (Seaton Delaval Hall "is basically going to be a huge great village hall, that happens to have been designed by Vanbrug”).
- Reconnecting people with their special places.
- Allow people to enrich their lives, to grow things..?
- We've been a properties and places organisation; we need to be a people and activities organisation..
- Freedom within a framework that links strategic visioning of a large organisation with mass participation in defining what they means and having the freedom to get on with it.
