The Wildlife Trust for Sheffield and Rotherham is a Registered Charity, whose aims are to protect and enhance the natural environment. In order to fulfil these aims, we depend on the support of people like you.
Our work is vital to securing the future of fragile and beautiful habitats and endangered wildlife across Sheffield and Rotherham, but we cannot do this work without the help of our many thousands of supporters across the region and beyond.

Fundraising
There are many ways that you can raise money for our wildlife and have fun at the same time! Our intrepid supporters have run the Sheffield Half Marathon, undertaken gruelling orienteering challenges and even cycled from John o' Groats to Lands End in the cause of local wildlife.
If you prefer something a little less energetic, why not organise your own cake sale, dress down day or sponsored silence? Be creative!
We would love to hear YOUR ideas for raising money to protect wildlife. Please contact our Fundraising Officer Chris on C.grice@wildsheffield.com or ring the office on 0114 2634335.
