Fundraise for us this april through big give
22nd-29th April
Celebrate being green with your school, colleagues, friends and family…
For the first time, this year we are holding a week-long campaign through the platform Big Give to raise vital funds for the work we do and support we provide at Green Light Trust.
We are encouraging local schools, businesses and individuals to get involved and join the campaign to fundraise and have fun.
You can be as creative as you like, we love when people think outside of the box.
However, if you need some inspiration we’ve got some ideas for you:
Wear green to school: encourage pupils to pay £1 and wear green to school for the day. Whether it’s a green jumper or top or they go head-to-toe green, we’d love to see it.
Host a swap-shop at work: bring in 3 items from home you no longer need and swap them with your colleagues. Pay £5 to take part and get rid of clutter at home.
Organise a midday quiz: We all know about quiz nights, but how about hosting one during the day. Pay £3 to enter and there could be a ‘green round’, asking questions about the planet, our environment and wildlife.
Hold a plant-based cake sale: ever tried vegan banana bread? It’s delicious! Homemade goods are always popular for an afternoon pick me up, AND it’s good for the environment.
After you have thought about how you would like to fundraise, get in touch with us so we can help to support you: phoebe@greenlighttrust.org.
what is big give?
Big Give is a non-profit organisation that allows charities to run fundraising campaigns and gain match funding.
This year, Big Give is hosting an Earth Raise campaign and we have been successful in our application to take part.
The aim is to encourage organisations like Green Light Trust who work with nature to fundraise and receive match funding.
So, during 22nd-29th April we need YOU to get creative and raise money for us.
At Green Light Trust we believe in the importance of understanding and appreciating our planet. When we work in the woods with our participants we like to discuss the little things we can do that go on to make a big difference.
From learning how to light fires efficiently to maintaining woodlands to help them thrive, we believe in supporting our participants by teaching them best practices to protect our planet.
This week-long campaign is the perfect opportunity to educate ourselves on the significance we have on the planet and how together, we can improve our local impact.

I cannot think of another ancient wood in Suffolk that has been converted from a declining wood to one in favourable condition… the work was carried out by such a dedicated and skilled organisation. They have achieved such high standards.
