South West Wildlife Fundraising Ltd (SWWFL) is wholly-owned by Wildlife Trust across England & Wales. Our aim is to inspire people to support their local Trusts and make a difference through a regular membership donation.
We represent our Wildlife Trusts across Avon, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Gwent, Hampshire & Isle of Wight, Herefordshire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Worcestershire; attending pre-booked local venues, shows and events. Membership provides Wildlife Trusts with vital income and a strong voice to protect our threatened wildlife and influence public policy.
Become a membership recruiter:
Our fundraising role involves engaging with the local community and inspiring people to sign-up to be a member of their local Wildlife Trust via monthly direct debit. The public have never been more responsive to the need to support the environment, which is how we’ve grown by over 200% in the last 5 years.
We often find the people and life skills, personal discipline & focus of Service leavers - together with the variety and sense of reward from doing good that the role offers - represents an effective combination for current and ex-Service personnel. Plus, we can be flexible to reflect working patterns and contract preference.
