The National Trust plans to cut at least 550 jobs to save £26 million due to increased labor costs after changes in Rachel Reeves’s budget.
Rising costs in employers' national insurance and minimum wage in April exceeded income growth from visitors, leading to the job cuts affecting 6% of its workforce.
The cuts will impact frontline roles like staff in cafes and shops, as well as conservation assistants, with a focus on prioritizing important aspects of the organization's work.
Other attractions like the Tate and English Heritage are also making job cuts and cost-saving measures due to financial challenges stemming from the pandemic and government policies.
