We are still looking for donations to support our purchase of Bardsey Fields, to cover additional costs such as legal fees.

Donations can be given through our bank, please follow the link above for details.

Your support has been amazing, this is the final push to achieve our goal!

We are delighted to let you know that our fundraising campaign has been a huge success and we raised a phenomenal amount of money in less than 3 weeks, enabling us to acquire Lot 2, totalling almost 24 acres of land in the centre of Bardsey village. The land runs from Bardsey Primary School down to Bardsey beck and beyond.

Unfortunately, however, we only raised sufficient funds to bid on one piece of land and prioritised the lower field, to the front of the school for a number of reasons. Firstly, we understood this to be the plot that we would most likely be successful with. Secondly, it is the plot with the best habitat, and it is the land which is very much in the centre of the community.

We are unable to share how much we bid as this information is confidential, but we can confirm that all donations received were used to secure this land.

We sincerely thank all those who donated to save Bardsey Fields – we couldn’t have done it without you!

If you have made a donation, please ensure you have completed a Gift Aid form, which enables us to claim back 25p for every £1 donated. You will find the form on this website in the Bardsey Fields Campaign, Donate section, or contact us at fundraising@ekwt.org.uk and we will send one to you.
