CPRE, the countryside charity
Established in 1926, we are the only charity that aims to promote, enhance and protect the countryside for us all to enjoy. We’re here for woodland, farmland, green spaces, nature reserves and so much more. With a local CPRE in every county, we work with communities, businesses and government to find positive and lasting ways to help the countryside thrive - today and for generations to come.
Open Spaces Society
As Britain’s oldest national conservation body, we protect and preserve commons, paths, and green spaces. At the Open Spaces Society, we have campaigned to protect commons, greens and paths for more than 150 years. All these are under threat in various ways including from neglect, illegal obstructions and the pressure of new developments. Any gift in wills, large or small, makes a vital difference and enables us to defend the places and paths which are some of our nation’s finest assets.
Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB)
The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings gives our built heritage a bright future. Through our campaigning and training, research and repair we keep old buildings useful, beautiful and part of people’s lives. From cottages to castles and from churches to cathedrals we are here to help buildings and the people who care for them.
Bumblebee Conservation Trust
The Bumblebee Conservation Trust was established because of serious concerns about the ‘plight of the bumblebee’. In the last 80 years our bumblebee populations have crashed. Two species have become nationally extinct and several others have declined dramatically. Bumblebees are familiar and much-loved insects that pollinate our crops and wildflowers, so people are rightly worried.
Campaign for National Parks
We are the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of the 13 National Parks in England and Wales: from Dartmoor, Exmoor, the South Downs, the New Forest, the Peak District, The Broads, Lake District, Northumberland, North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks in England and Eryri (Snowdonia), Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) and Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks in Wales.
Compassion in World Farming International
The challenges of building a humane and sustainable world have never been greater. Against a backdrop of a population explosion and soaring food prices, intensive livestock farming poses a very real threat to our planet. Greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, biodiversity loss and water scarcity are all disastrous consequences of factory farming.
Cymdeithas Eryri – The Snowdonia Society
We’re investing in Snowdonia’s future. Each year we create quality opportunities for hundreds of young people through our acclaimed programme of volunteering, training, and work experience. These are the future guardians of precious places like Snowdonia - and more widely across these islands.
Environmental Investigation Agency UK
We investigate and campaign against environmental crime and abuse. Our undercover investigations expose transnational wildlife crime, with a focus on elephants, pangolins and tigers and forest crimes such as illegal logging and deforestation for cash crops such as palm oil. We work to safeguard global marine ecosystems by addressing the threats posed by plastic pollution, bycatch and commercial exploitation of whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Good Gardeners International
One of the key features of Good Gardeners International is sustainability. Legacies – gifts to the charity in Wills – are one of the best ways to ensure that The Good Gardeners work continues into the future. We have projects in the UK and abroad that you can support with your legacy to us. The future is seen by many, as times get tough the world over, in localised food production and DRY sanitation systems that do not pollute the rivers and seas of the world.
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust supports conservation, communities and culture in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Protecting the National Park for future generations by improving how the land is managed for wildlife, working to meet the challenges of climate change, highlighting the area’s history and culture and ensuring the Park is accessible to all.
