THE outgoing head of the National Trust has admitted that its core members had been ignored as the charity faced a backlash over a spate of controversies.
THE outgoing head of the National Trust has admitted that its core members have been ignored as the charity faced a backlash over a spate of ‘lefty’ controversies.
Speaking in the wake of the gay pride controversy where volunteers were required to wear rainbow badges Dame Helen Ghosh admitted: “Sometimes some of our perhaps more traditional visitors have felt that they are not being catered for as they once felt that they were.”
Dame Helen, who is leaving to take over as Master of Balliol College, Oxford University, told BBC Radio 4’s The World This Weekend: “Sometimes I see signs that our places, or things going on, that perhaps tread too far in one direction than another.
“It is sometimes the case that we appeal too much to one audience, and not enough to another."
The 61-year-old, who took up the position in 2012 from Dame Fiona Reynolds, added: “I haven’t got a specific example in mind. I think what I’m describing is that in order to be open-armed to welcome the widest possible group of visitors to our places, sometimes some of our perhaps more traditional visitors have felt that they are not being catered for as they once felt that they were.”
The long-standing conservation charity, which was formed in 1895 and has over 4 million members has come under fire recently for a wide-range of controversial issues.
Volunteers were required to wear gay pride badges if they wanted to be able to interact with the public, the supposed ‘outing’ of Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer, one-time owner of Felbrigg hall near Cromer and changing the recipe of its popular flapjacks.

Previously it had also been criticised for dropping the word ‘Easter’ from its annual egg hunt it runs with Cadbury and “airbrushing” out Christianity from the religious festival.
The Trust is also heading for controversy when the issue of hunting with hounds is due to be debated a the annual AGM in October.
Currently trail hunting - where hounds and riders follow a scent that was laid earlier - is permitted on the charity’s estates but this has been seen by animal rights campaigners as simply a way to get around the hunting band
Sir Roy Strong, a former director of both London’s Victoria & Albert museum and the National Portrait Gallery, blasted the Trust on the Radio 4 current affairs show.
