Who are the Friends of the Lake District Benefactors?

Benefactors are Friends who care deeply and are able to donate at least £250 every year to help protect the Lake District and Cumbria.

Benefactors receive a personalised welcome letter from our Chief Executive acknowledging this special level of commitment. We will write to you at least once a year with our plans for the coming year.

Your name will appear on our website and in our magazine, Conserving Lakeland, with your permission.

You will also receive the following:

  • New member welcome pack
  • Three editions a year of our members' magazine, Conserving Lakeland
  • 2 for 1 entry at historic Cumbria attractions Brantwood, Dalemain House, Holker Hall, Rydal Mount, Winderwath Gardens and Hutton-in-the-Forest
  • Discount at all Cotswold Outdoor, Runners Need, Snow & Rock and Cycle Surgery on-line and in-store
  • Discount on Cicerone books
  • Discount on HF Holidays bookings
  • Free events, walks, talks, and volunteer days held throughout the year
  • Free planning guidance

You can also choose to sign up for regular e-newsletters to keep you in touch with news, appeals and events.
