Cornwall's wildlife needs your help. By supporting Cornwall Wildlife Trust you will be protecting Cornwall's wildlife for the future, something you can be so proud of. From joining our 14,000 strong membership to simply buying from our online shop, everything you do will make a real difference.
- Join as a member Members are the strength and backbone of our organisation and provide us with vital income every year. If you join as a member you will help to secure the future of Cornwall’s very special environment and wildlife.
- Gift Aid it We can reclaim the tax back on any subscription or donation paid to the Trust from the Government under the Gift Aid scheme as long you pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the sum we would be claiming in the tax year, currently 25p for every £1 you give.
- Appeals We urgently need to raise money for three appeals; hedgerow restoration to protect birds, bats and insects in East Cornwall, coastal grassland creation to protect coastal plants and great black-backed gulls on Looe Island Nature Reserve and finally invasive species clearnace to protect dune grassland wildlife near Hayle. Can you help us by making a donation to one of these appeals?
- Make a donation We are grateful for all donations made to Cornwall Wildlife Trust regardless of size. It is really easy to make a donation, either online, in person at our office near Truro, by post, over the phone or through your Will.
