Orchards for Schools: one donation, twice the impact
Dear Tree Champion and Friend,
The Big Give Christmas Challenge is now live and ready to match your donations! All donations made on The Big Give Match Fund online portal between now and midday on Tuesday 6 December, up to £10,000, will be matched, pound for pound, thanks to our treemendous match-funders OT Group and The Impact Fund.
One donation, twice the impact!
We want to raise £20,000 for our Orchards for Schools programme, which has already established over 80,000 fruiting trees and hedgerows in more than 2,000 schools across the country. With your help this festive season we could plant thousands more fruit trees and hedgerows in primary, secondary and special schools, inspiring pupils, teachers and whole school communities to get outdoors and plant and care for wildlife-sheltering, carbon-storing, school orchards and hedgerows.
Help us make our campaign a success by sharing our posts on social media and encouraging others to donate via our Big Give webpage between 29 November and 6 December. Your support can help Orchards for Schools blossom and grow, igniting a passion for trees and nature in young people and transforming schools up and down the country into a #ForceForNature.
This festive season, why not give the gift of nature? For anyone who would like to make a donation as a gift, we can email a personalised e-certificate either directly to the supporter, or to their gift-ee. Simply email cat.gransden@treecouncil.org.uk to request a certificate.
