Ways to Give
Help to protect Cumbria’s landscapes
Support our work and appeals with a donation to our charity. Your donation can have a big impact on Lake District landscapes.
General Donation
The Lake District is home to some of England’s most spectacular landscapes. But it’s under threat. From fly camping and congestion to littering and inappropriate development, the National Park is facing growing problems. Every day, we work to tackle these threats. But we can’t do it alone. We rely on the generosity of our supporters to make this possible. Help us protect and enhance Cumbria’s landscapes for the benefit of local communities, visitors, wildlife and habitats.
Explore other ways to donate
If you’d like to support Friends of the Lake District in a different way, there are a couple of options, from leaving a legacy to raising funds through an activity or event.
Donate to a specific appeal
Whether it’s donating to support our project to restore a Cumbrian rainforest, or our work to plant more hedges across the region, every pound donated helps.
Donate in memory of someone
Losing someone we love is never easy, and our thoughts are with everyone going through such a difficult time. We’re deeply grateful to those who choose to honour a loved one’s memory by supporting our charity – your kindness makes a meaningful difference when it matters most.
Gift in wills
Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful way to protect Cumbria’s landscapes for the long term, after you have taken care of the people closest to you. Every gift helps us plan ahead – supporting nature recover, defending this unique landscape, and responding when new pressures emerge.
Gift Aid
Gift Aid lets us claim from HMRC an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, at no cost to you, including appeals donations or membership fees. Find out more about Gift Aid and its benefits to our charity.
