Help Save Darlands
Darlands Conservation Trust urgently needs your help to reach its funding target of £500,000 to help make Darlands a wonderful place for people and wildlife.
We are privileged to have such a special wild space close to our homes but we can’t take it for granted. London’s green belt and open spaces are under threat. Public funding cuts, development of new homes and other infrastructure and climate change are all creating unprecedented pressure.
There is a lot of work to do, restoring, creating and maintaining a mosaic of habitats to support a diverse assembly of wildlife and to ensure Darlands is a safe and enjoyable place to visit.
Darlands Lake has been silting up for many years and now regularly dries up. Urgent action is required to prevent its total loss. Environmentally sensitive excavation by specialists to produce a depth of water capable of supporting a much more diverse array of wildlife is now urgently required.
Become A Darlander
We are inviting you to become a Darlander and support the Darlands Nature Reserve.
Becoming a Darlander is a vitally important way to support our conservation efforts; by joining, each Darlander will have contributed directly to on-going work to protect the reserve.
Donations
Your donations are vital to make these projects a reality and to protect Darlands for current and future generations.
Whether a one-off donation or a regular gift, Gift aid makes your donation go further. For every pound you give, we can claim an extra 25 pence from HM Revenue & Customs.
You can now make a donation via PayPal. Remember to add gift aid before donating.

Charity Raffles
From time to time, we organise raffles, auctions and prize draws, these activities come under the Gambling Act 2005, Small Society Lottery Registration. Our registration No. GASSL/23/67680 was accepted by London Borough of Barnet who monitor our processes and performance on behalf of the community. The funds raised are only used for charitable purposes, no staff are employed by The Darlands Conservation Trust, we are completely volunteer run.
A huge thank you to all our sponsors and supporters for your support. We could never do what we do without your generosity and belief in our mission.
