When will my WWF Go Wild junior membership welcome pack arrive? 

For deliveries within the UK, your pack should arrive within 2-3 working days, though please allow up to 5 working days due to ongoing Royal Mail delays. If you've chosen faster delivery, your pack should arrive within 2 working days if ordered before 12pm. If you live on an island or in the Highlands, your pack may take 1 - 2 days longer to arrive. You can also opt to cover the cost of your own postage and make your donation go even further.

For deliveries to Europe, please allow 21 working days.

For international deliveries outside of Europe, please allow 4-6 weeks. 

From 1st January 2021, due to several new conditions applied to items sent from the UK to the EU and worldwide, a mandatory phone number is now required for all orders that will be delivered outside of the UK. 

Deliveries outside of the UK may be susceptible to customs duty charges which are outside of WWF’s control. We ask that you make allowances for any charges that may be incurred as WWF cannot be held responsible. We cannot provide tracking for deliveries outside of the UK.

Please note, if you've purchased a membership as a gift, you can choose for it to be sent directly to you or to the gift recipient. If you choose have the gift sent direct to the recipient, you'll still receive a written confirmation of your purchase. This may arrive several days before the gift recipient’s membership pack arrives.

If you haven’t received your welcome pack within the suggested timeframe, please contact us on the details on our Contact Us Page and our Supporter Care team will be happy to help.

When will my WWF Go Wild junior membership magazines arrive?

There are 4 Go Wild magazines per year, mailing in Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter.

How long will my WWF Go Wild junior membership last?

If you're donating by Direct Debit, your membership will continue every month until you contact us or your bank and ask it to be stopped. If you're donating by a one-off donation by credit/debit card or cheque, your membership will last for a year.

What are my payment options?

Direct Debit. 

If you have a UK bank account, a Direct Debit is a great way to support us; regular gifts by Direct Debit mean charities have a consistent, predictable income, so we can plan and budget better across our conservation projects. 

Please note, a Direct Debit is an ongoing payment. You can cancel at any time either through your bank or by letting us know on our Contact Us Page. 

We are unable to accept Direct Debits from a non-UK bank account – please see our one-off payment option below. 

 

One-off Payment. 

You can set up a junior membership with a one-off payment – these start at a minimum of £72.00 and will ensure the membership runs for one year.

How is my WWF Go Wild junior membership spent?

The proceeds from a Go Wild membership are not restricted to particular conservation projects. 70% of our income goes towards on-the-ground conservation programmes and related work to tackle the biggest environmental threats to our world. Of the remainder, 22% is spent on fundraising and 8% on governance and monitoring systems which ensure we remain accountable; this includes administration costs and gifts in kind (e.g. free IT, etc)

How can I renew my Go Wild junior membership?
