There are about 25k schools in England. An Excel Pivot Table can handle ~1 million rows... And Excel now has some third-party "AI" add-ins!

True but NT is so, so much more than the houses
NT motto is "For every one, for ever". . As such they ALSO focus on outdoor spaces, nature conservation, "Summer of Fun", acquiring coastlines...etc

The Trust does have its problems (in the middle of a 5% redundancy programme). And it's very expensive to run (especially house restoration).
But their vision is spot-on... includes nature revival.
Well worth supporting!
