Friends of Wolseley

The Friends of Wolseley scheme allows you to directly support the tranquil grounds of The Wolseley Centre, visited by around 50,000 people every year!

Why become a Friend?

The Wolseley Centre isn't just the Trust's headquarters, it is our most visited site and one of the easiest to access with a wide network of paths taking you on a journey around the grounds.

By becoming a Friend of Wolseley not only will you be helping us to maintain the existing habitats and features we've created, but your support will also allow us to carry out new projects to further improve the visitor experience at our flagship site.

Joining the Friends of Wolseley scheme costs just £20 per year, with membership running from January to December of a calendar year. Alternatively you can join for a 6 month period for just £10, running from January to June or July to December of a calendar year. You can even sign up someone else as a gift that last's the whole year through! Once part of the scheme, you'll be entitled to discounts on selected events and walks, as well as exclusive newsletters and much more!
