Get involved

Be a Rimrose Valley Friend!

Being a "Rimrose Valley Friend" can mean lots of different things! Whether you volunteer, fundraise, donate, play our lottery, take part in our activities and events, or you've signed up to our membership scheme, ALL are welcome!

We want to provide many different ways you can support out work. This page gives you information on each and is your first step to getting involved.

So, what are you waiting for?!

Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way of coming together, meeting new people and gaining new friends! We welcome anyone and everyone who is willing to help us grow our work and to have as big an impact as possible.

Opportunities range from things like litter picks, to helping steward our activities, or even manning an RVF stall at local events.

So, if you're willing to help and want us to save your details, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch or join our Facebook Volunteers Group.

Donate or fundraise

We fundraise, apply for grants and are always on the look out for innovative, new ways of generating income to help us deliver more activities and projects.

It would be fantastic if you can help us by making a donation to our charity. Alternatively, why not fundraise for us by being sponsored for an activity, like a walking, running or cycling challenge?

You can do either (or both!) via our fundraising platform, LocalGiving.

Click on this button make either a one-off or a recurring donation.

And don't forget, if you're eligible to claim Gift Aid, please tick the box, as this means your money will go even further.

Give as you spend!

We've signed up to Easy Fundraising, which means you can now give as you spend online, with a huge range of high street brands to choose from.

You'll be asked to create an account then every time you purchase via their website or app, the brand makes a donation to our charity, at no cost to you!

Record wildlife

Rimrose Valley is a unique habitat and documenting its biodiversity is key to understanding the park and protecting its wildlife long-term.

It's now really easy to record sightings whenever you visit the park using the iNaturalist app.

Just follow these simple steps, head out onto Rimrose and start recording! Keep an eye out for our own 'bioblitz' events throughout the year.
