Here is some useful links to help you get started:

Can my class write WWF letters and will they get a reply?

We always welcome letters from school children. However, we cannot guarantee a reply but will do our best to respond. If we do respond this will be one general letter to the whole class. If this is a letter sent in with fundraising we will always reply and send a certificate.

We have fundraising packs to request this email supporter care team or call supporter services on 01483 426 333 opt 2.

Do you visit schools and give talks?

Sadly, we are unable to visit schools to give talks as we are a small team based in Woking. However, we do have a ‘virtual visit pack’ for primary schools which contains assembly ideas, film and classroom activities which we can provide free. Visit wwf.org.uk/opfpack to order your copy.

My school has raised money for WWF, can you visit to collect our cheque?

Thank you so much for supporting our work! Unfortunately, we are a small team based in Woking so we are unable to visit schools to collect cheques. However, we can provide a certificate to acknowledge your efforts. If you are based locally, we would be happy for you to visit our Living Planet Centre to deliver your cheque.
