Cotswold Outdoor, Snow+Rock and RunnersNeed have recently supported us by fundraising towards nature's recovery, as part of their Black Friday and Pennies campaign in late 2022.
Here at The Wildlife Trusts, we are committed to creating a wilder future and want to see at least 30% of land and sea connected and protected for nature in the UK by 2030. To do this we need to bring wildlife back – at scale – and also empower local communities and individuals to take meaningful action for nature, which is why every donation we receive is incredibly important.

In the last few months of 2022, Cotswold Outdoor, Snow+Rock, and Runners Need, boosted our fundraising efforts by donating 1% of their Black Friday sales and enabling customers to make micro-donations to us in-store through Pennies (helping people to donate a few pence to charity when paying by card or digitally). We're so pleased to share that they raised £61,072.32 in total for The Wildlife Trusts. Every pound donated will help create a wilder future for us all, supporting our work which includes:
- restoring huge peatlands that store carbon and provide a home for threatened birds like curlews and golden plovers
- creating new wetlands, which reduce the risk of towns and villages flooding and are also great for dragonflies and water voles
- planting new underwater seagrass meadows to soak up carbon and shelter sea horses and other sea life…
We'd like to say a huge thank you to Cotswold Outdoor, Snow+Rock and Runners Need for supporting us over the past few months!
