Your Donations Matter

The Trust is funded in a variety of ways. We are grateful to the City of Edinburgh Council for their grant support, we also raise money through the Visitor Centre and the fundraising events we organise throughout the year – such as Plant Sales and Duck Races.  However, an important source of funding for the charity comes from public donations and the generous support of our members.

You can use the links below to make a donation through a secure donation portal, powered by the Charities Aid Foundation.  It’s a safe and secure way to make one-off or regular monthly donations that also allows us to process GiftAid.
