The
National Trust is looking to sign up
ten children aged between
seven and 12 to the council where theywill play
an
important role in developing the charity's
outdoor campaigns, and making their
properties more fun for
younger visitors.
Potential applicants should:
- be brimming with enthusiasm and fun,
- have a
natural love for the outdoors and fresh
air
- have an adventurous
spirit and a wild imagination
- love rolling down hills or
jumping in muddy puddles .
To
offer
children a chance to try out the
National Trust and get
inspiration on what they
would like to change if
they were appointed to the
Kids' Council, the Trust is opening its
doors to
children for free for the whole month of
August at over 200
places.
The
successful council applicants will be announced later in the year and
will be offered
free year-long access
to National Trust places for themselves and their
family.
Canoeing,
surfing and camping will be part of the
prize to ensure kids and
their families experience the full
National Trust offering.
The
Kids'
Council will meet throughout
2013 and report
their findings into the
National Trust's Visitor Experience Director,
so their suggestions can be put into practise to help
make the outdoors
more fun for the nation's kids.
The
application process closes on
7 September 2012. Application forms can be
downloaded from the website
at
www.nationaltrust.org.uk/kidscouncil.
