Trusts and Foundations have recently helped to fund:

• exceptional work at our existing buildings, such as repair work following storm damage in extreme weather conditions at coastal properties.
• a programme to eradicate rhododendron, an invasive plant on Lundy, which is threatening native species.
• our work generally. Some trusts and foundations award grants for us to use where the need is greatest.
