National Trust to cut 550 jobs as Reeves’ budget adds £10m to costs
National Trust is preparing to shoot approximately 550 jobs because it aims to significantly reduce the wage invoice depending on financial pressures.
The Conservation Charity Authority has reported to the personnel, especially the increasing costs of increasing national insurance contributions, and now that it has left behind the growth in both the number of visitors and donations.
Savings of £ 26 million is part of a wider strategy.
The proposed layoffs are expected to result in a 6 percent decrease in the total labor force of the National Trust, which has 9,575 people at the end of February.
This means that it can affect at least 550 full -time roles.
The aid said that the last increases in the employer’s national insurance contributions and national minimum wage added more than 10 million £ to the annual wage invoice.
The tax hike was a central principle of Rachel Reeves’ autumn budget to collect billions of pounds for the Treasury.
However, he was greeted with violent criticisms among the affected businesses, and many of them said that they would be forced to transfer higher costs through business cuts or price increases.
National Trust said in a statement: “demand and support for our work, although the annual increases in visitors and donations are increasing, increasing costs leave this growth behind.
“We know how difficult this is for our people and we are incredibly grateful for their talents and professionalism.
“With the expectation of unity, we work hard to make the transition as painless as possible.
“This follows other cost -saving measures for months. We always want to avoid job losses.”
The philanthropy said that the proposed changes will continue to look and defend our common history and natural environment in Britain, Wales and Northern Ireland for a long time and continue to defend and defend our championship ”.
National Trust is one of the hosts of more than 500 historical houses, fortress, monument, reserve, park and garden with more than 500 historical houses and more than 500 historical hosts.
