Face to Face Fundraising

Wildlife in London needs our help today. Face to Face fundraising gives us the opportunity to talk to people about the threats and pressures on London’s wildlife and why it is important to protect them. By having these conversations, we are hoping to gain more support through memberships which will enable us to do more work to create a Wild London that everyone can enjoy.  

London Wildlife Trust is working with a trusted professional fundraising agency to help us grow our support and donations. The agency has a team of trained fundraisers dedicated to informing and inspiring you to protect London’s wildlife. The team work to the fundraising regulators code of practice and are regulated by the Fundraising Regulator.  

All London Wildlife Trust fundraisers will be wearing:  

• Green London Wildlife Trust branded uniform  

• An ID badge identifying them as a fundraiser, with their name, photo and ID number
