Norfolk Archaeological Trust Launches New Support Your Site Scheme
NAT (Norfolk Archaeological Trust) has announced the launch of its new Support Your Site scheme at two of its most iconic heritage sites, St Benet’s Abbey and Caistor Roman Town. The initiative follows the successful launch of the scheme earlier this month at Tasburgh Enclosure.
The Support Your Site scheme invites individuals, families, and organisations to become supporters through a small monthly contribution. These funds will go directly towards essential site care, conservation, community engagement, and improvements in visitor experience.
According to Natalie Butler, Director of NAT, these two sites hold significant historical value and are an integral part of the Norfolk landscape. She stated, “This new scheme is about giving people a simple, meaningful way to help look after the sites they love. Every contribution – big or small – makes a real difference in ensuring these places remain free to access and well cared for for future generations.”
Supporters of the scheme will enjoy a range of benefits, including a biannual supporters’ newsletter, an invitation to the NAT Summer Social, and an opportunity to participate in the Annual Director’s Walk & Talk. Additionally, supporters’ names will be listed on the NAT website, and after two years of continuous support, they will be eligible for an on-site plaque.
The Support Your Site scheme is also available as a thoughtful local present for birthdays, Christmas, or special occasions for those who wish to gift a membership.
Natalie added, “Our supporters play a vital role in safeguarding Norfolk’s heritage. We’re excited to offer a new way for people to deepen their connection with these remarkable landscapes and help us protect them for years to come.”
