The cost of running the Trust’s core
programmes is £30,000 - £35,000 per year. We rely mainly on the support of grant-awarding institutions
and charities, with additional funds coming from private donors and local businesses. We are also
indebted to our magnificent team of enthusiastic volunteers who carry out vital habitat management. If
you would like to support our work please see the sections on donating and volunteering below. By helping the Trust through
these activities you will automatically become one of the 'Friends of
KCT'.
|
Every pound we raise goes towards the protection of wildlife and enriching the local
environment for public benefit, in accordance with our charitable status.
We are grateful for all donations, however small, both from private
individuals and from businesses. If you would like to contribute, please send a
cheque payable to ‘Kemerton Conservation Trust’ to the Conservation Advisor, John
Clarke, at the address below. Because we are a registered charity we can claim
a tax refund from the government on many donations under the Gift Aid scheme.
If you are an individual paying UK tax and would like us to obtain this benefit, at
no extra cost to you, please print out and complete this simple declaration form and enclose it with your donation.

and enjoyment.
