A gift in memory for your loved one
A legacy for your loved one
If someone you love had a passion for nature, and a love for all things wildlife, then donating to Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is a fitting way to honour their memory. By dedicating a gift in someone’s memory, you are helping to protect the places and species that they loved for the future.
However you choose to remember or celebrate a loved-one, you will be giving in the knowledge that it will protect and preserve the places they loved.
Ways you can give
Funeral collections
We are honoured that some members and supporters chose to name us in their funeral plans as a recipient of funeral donations. You can organise for these to be collected and distributed to us through a funeral director, or collate the donations yourself and send it over.
One off donations
Many people chose to donate in memory of a loved one, at a time, way and amount that is right for them. There are many methods of donating, from sending in a cheque, to donating through our website. We would love to know a bit more about your loved one and their passion for wildlife if you wish to share this with us.
Donate in memory
Group fundraising
We find that for those of our supporters who were very active in their community, whole groups of people like to come together and raise money for Yorkshire’s wildlife, in memory of their loved one.

Memorials
We have had the pleasure of arranging many special tributes in remembrance on our reserves over the years and continue to receive many requests for new memorials.
Memorial Benches
We do offer memorial benches, and can accommodate them on site where there is a need for new benches. We typically suggest a donation of £2,500 to make a donation on a bench. The donation ensures we can cover the cost of a new bench, dedication plaque, installation and maintenance for a 10 year period.
Bespoke requests
We do take bespoke requests on a case-by-case basis, in case you wanted to dedicate in memory of a loved one for a specific idea e.g. paying for improvements to a reserve such as a new fencing or signage, or things to help wildlife such as bird boxes. To discuss your requirements, or make an enquiry please contact our team at fundraising@ywt.org.uk
