Cornwall Wildlife Trust is encouraging people to ‘Wear Your Wellies For Wildlife’ to help raise money for its work protecting Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places. 

This fund-raising challenge is open to anyone, whether you are a local school, business, sports club or community group; you can organise a ‘Wear Your Wellies For Wildlife’ day or event anywhere and at any time of year. The Trust asks that each person taking part donate £1 (or more if you wish).

Simply pick a date and ask those taking part to wear their wellies for the day. You may even wish to organise a special event to add an extra element of fun; why not organise a sponsored welly walk or run, a ‘welly wanging’ contest or even a game of football, rugby, netball or hockey whilst wearing wellies? You could even hold a ‘Welly Disco’.

Frugi, the children’s clothing company that’s a long-term ‘Wildlife Partner’ of the Trust, is supporting a Wear Your Wellies For Wildlife colouring competition. Children are invited to enter to be in with a chance of winning a pair of Frugi’s ‘Puddle Buster’ wellington boots.
