Your fundraising stories
Gina's story
Gina, our Marketing and Development Manager undertook her first ever Half Marathon to raise money for a #WilderFuture.
"On the 12th June I’ll be taking part in the #RunWILD half marathon (13 miles!) to raise funds for The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. The impact of COVID 19 on the charity have been devastating and they need to raise funds to ensure our precious wildlife is protected and that the Trust has a future."

Madi's story
Madison is undertaking a spring Triathlon to raise money for 30x30. Follow her training journey...
"These next years are crucial for nature’s recovery. The 30x30 campaign calls for urgent action and puts the biodiversity and climate crises at the forefront of decision making. There are many ways we can help as individuals, groups and businesses, to raise awareness of this challenge and the need to put nature at the heart of our own decisions."
