Active fun(draising)

Every donation we receive matters to us, regardless of how small or big it is.

Fundraising is not all about marathons. You can turn even the smallest thing into a fundraiser.  In fact, the possibilities are endless.

Celebrate with us

Do you have a birthday or anniversary coming up but you really don’t want any more presents and would rather donate the money to wildlife conservation?

It's easy set up a fundraising page on JustGiving or on your Facebook page so that friends and family can donate to Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust in lieu of presents or cards. For help on how to do it, see our FAQs.

Organise your own event

A sponsored challenge such as a run or walk is a great way to keep fit while getting your family and friends involved in raising funds for local wildlife. You can create your own fundraising event page on Just Giving, for more help on how to do this see our FAQs.
Not a runner? No problem! There are so many other ways you can fundraise for us. Some of them just mean making a small change to your current lifestyle that would be beneficial to you, the environment – and if you get a sponsorship, us, too!
If you are looking for inspiration or useful tips, have a look at our fundraising pack. It is a handy guide to help you make your fundraising a safe and successful event so that you and all participants can have lots of fun!
