US EditionNational Trust blames tax rises as it cuts 550 jobs
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 11 – The National Trust aims to save £26 million by cutting 6% of its workforce due to cost increases outpacing visitor growth, including a £10 million rise in employer national insurance.
- The National Trust announced plans today to cut around 550 jobs across the UK, representing about 6% of its workforce.
- The cuts address ongoing financial challenges, including the recent rise in employer National Insurance and the National Living Wage, which have pushed the wage expenses up by more than £10 million.
- The charity has entered a 45-day consultation with staff and is working with the Prospect union to minimize the cuts' impact while continuing to provide valued services.
- At the end of February, the National Trust employed approximately 9,575 people, and it states demand and support are growing yet costs still outstrip this growth.
- The proposed changes aim to save £26 million and allow the trust to continue caring for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland's natural and historic environment long term.
