A closer relationship
Patrons will have the opportunity to enjoy a close and special relationship with Cornwall Wildlife Trust and its work, meeting people involved and getting behind the scenes. We are pleased to offer:
- Exclusive invitations for you and your guest(s) to events around the county to see work in progress and the impact of our work.
- An opportunity to meet our Chief Executive Officer at the annual Patrons’ lunch to learn of our future plans.
- Bespoke updates about Cornwall Wildlife Trust's work.
As the Wildlife Patron scheme is a form of membership of Cornwall Wildlife Trust, you will also receive a copy of our magazine, Wild Cornwall, three times a year (and a welcome pack if you are not already a member). The benefits of the Patron scheme are available for a minimum amount. Anything in excess of that amount is a voluntary donation and is outside the scope of VAT.
