Support Our Work

Hadrian's Wall ranks alongside the Pyramids in its international importance. It is also an iconic symbol of our country while remaining a special place for the people who live and work close to it. Maintaining the archaeology, the National Trail and the landscape and coordinating the management of access, interpretation, transport and the environment all costs money though. We receive some funding from key partners but the rest of what we do here is down to the support of people and businesses within our region, and beyond, who share the same passion for Hadrian's Wall.

The Hadrian's Wall Trust is based in Hexham, at the heart of the World Heritage Site. The organisation became a registered charity in 2012 and working with a variety of stakeholders, partners and the public seeks to:

• improve the infrastructure of Hadrian's Wall and its interpretation and learning centres;
• showcase the Wall as a global model of best practice in managing a World Heritage Site;
• educate, inform and inspire people;
• advance knowledge through innovative archaeological research of the Wall and its many still undiscovered sites;
• improve the environment of Hadrian's Wall and the surrounding region thus improving opportunities for local communities;
• conserve, protect and maintain the Wall and its landscapes for future generations;
• promote environmental sustainability
