Get Active.

Get Active, an innovative new volunteering and community involvement website, is being launched by the National Trust to make it easier for people to find out how giving up some of their spare time can help the charity to protect the nation's historic houses, gardens, coast and countryside for everyone to enjoy. The site is also designed to promote community involvement in caring for the environment. Websurfers can find out about what they can do at National Trust properties all over the country. Volunteering is a great way to pick up new skills or to extend old ones while meeting others with similar interests. With its interactive map graphics, Get Active makes it easier than ever to find out about the many exciting volunteering opportunities available in each region from botanical surveys and bricklaying to archaeological excavations and looking after museum objects.
