National Trust ‘inclusion’ calendar  excludes main Christian festivals

The National Trust has been widely criticised for producing a calendar that features religious festivals such as Diwali, Ramadan and Eid – but not Easter and Christmas.

A statement from the NT said: ‘We have an Inclusion and Wellbeing Calendar that is an internal resource, used to keep staff and volunteers up to date about awareness months and minority religious and cultural celebrations they might not otherwise be familiar with.

‘For this reason, Christmas and Easter, which are national public holidays, are not included on that particular planner.’
