As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering the greatest possible impact to protect and restore our natural world, WWF-UK has undertaken a thorough review of our operations. 

Like many organisations in our sector, we are operating in a challenging external environment. Inflationary pressures, slower income growth and rising operating and people costs are affecting charities across the UK. To continue directing as much of our funding as possible towards our mission, we need to make careful decisions about how we work and how we are structured. 

Following this review, we have begun a consultation process on proposals to reshape parts of our organisation. If implemented in full, the proposals would result in a reduction of approximately £5 million in unrestricted staff costs and could lead to the loss of around 90 UK-based roles. Colleagues whose roles may be affected are being offered voluntary redundancy as part of this process. 

We recognise the impact this may have on valued colleagues who have dedicated themselves to our cause, and we are committed to supporting everyone affected with compassion and care throughout the consultation.  

These proposals are not being made lightly. They are about focus and resilience, ensuring our resources are directed where they can have the greatest impact. Strengthening our financial sustainability and enabling us to continue delivering science-based conservation, protecting habitats for wildlife and tackling the urgent challenge of climate change.
