A-Z of fundraising
The Trust always needs help to fund the wide range of good work it does to protect wildlife. We are reliant on the generosity of our members to help us fund this work. We are often asked by members what they can do to help, so here we give some practical suggestions about ways that you can help raise funds for the Trust. If each member did only one of the things suggested it would make a huge difference!
- Appeals - we try to limit the number of fundraising appeals we send to members but when we do it’s because we really need your support. You can help by making a donation to the appeal, however small.
- Bring and Buy – organise one at work, home or your local village hall.
- Coffee morning and cake sales, why not ask a local cookery class or school to help?
- Gift Aid – Signing a gift aid form is really important as it will make your membership subscription and donations worth almost a third more to us at no extra cost to you.
- Legacies - remembering the Trust in your will can really make a huge difference.
- Neighbours – why not recommend that they join the Trust? Failing that throw a street party and get them all to donate!
- Open
gardens - join in with the Trust’s
Open Garden scheme.

- Smoking – give up smoking and donate the money you save to the Trust.
- Sponsored activities – you and your family/friends can walk, swim and even bungee jump! Why not sign up for the Great North or South Run and donate your sponsorship to the Trust? If you aren’t into physical activities then why not sponsor those that are.
- Volunteer and help to raise funds through collections, organising events etc.
