We have been absolutely blown away by the public’s response to our Attenborough Nature Reserve Lifeline Appeal. Over 4000 people from across the UK have made donations in the past few weeks and thanks to their generosity, and that our grant funder Biffa Award, we are now confident that this wonderful nature reserve will be forever safe in our hands.

The Lifeline appeal has been successful in securing the funds we need to purchase and care for the reserve, helping to safeguard the long-term future of over 200 hectares of habitats - reaching our £1 million target in just 10 weeks. We are overwhelmed by the generosity and support of the public which helped enable us to proceed with our plans to buy the land we have cared for over 50 years.

Further donations will help us look after Attenborough Nature Reserve, a site which connects people and wildlife like no other, by restoring habitats, maintaining access routes and facilities for visitors and supporting our volunteers. Thank you.
