The National Trust has reported a 383% increase in online donations in a year blighted by the coronavirus pandemic, which caused the majority of the charity’s venues to be “put into hibernation”.

The organisation said it expected to feel financial repercussions for “some years” following the pandemic, but that business and members were returning.
