Every little helps
From shopping online to joining our lottery scheme - there are lots of different ways to support Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.
Win for wildlife!
Play the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Lottery!
Win for wildlife! Joining the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Lottery is a great way to help us look after Staffordshire’s wildlife as well as gaining you an opportunity to win a cash prize. For just £1 per week you will have 52 opportunities each year to win £75 cash and a 1 in 250 chance of winning! All excess funds are invested back into the work of the Trust around the county. You can pay monthly, quarterly or once per year and only need to win once to gain all of your investment back – but even better - you know you will be doing your bit for wildlife by just playing. If you can help us in this way, please email s.chance@staff-wildlife for more details.
Vine House Farm Bird Foods
What is it? The Trust sells a wide variety of value-for-money bird food from its two visitor centres, the Wolseley Centre in Wolseley Bridge and Westport Lake Visitor Centre in Stoke-on-Trent. But if you can't make it to our centres, the next best thing is to buy your bird food online from Vine House Farm, as we receive a 4% donation from every purchase made by a Staffordshire customer. The farm is a wonderful example of farming in harmony with wildlife and the environment.
What do I do? Simply visit Vine House Farm's website and start shopping!
