The Herefordshire Meadows team would like to thank you for your support during our week-long fundraiser for the Herefordshire Meadows Community, supported by Big Give’s annual Green Match Fund, which concluded on the 29th May.
We were blown away by your generosity and are grateful for every donation, large and small, that helped us to surpass our fundraising target. The £8,896 raised in online donations unlocked £8,000 in match funding from Big Give, and once Gift Aid has been applied will give us a grand total of £17,860 to spend on a 2-year program of free events and training, all aimed at supporting better recognition and conservation of species-rich grasslands in Herefordshire.
The Herefordshire Meadows community provides a forum for landowners, gardeners, farmers, and specialists and enthusiasts, to exchange knowledge, experience, and up-to-date research and guidance. Over the next two years the funds raised during this campaign will be used to support a program of guided meadow walks, plant ID training sessions, citizen science, discussion groups and farm workshops, all free to attend and all aimed at sharing knowledge and appreciation of species-rich grassland in Herefordshire
Thank you so much for making this possible, and we look forward to thanking you in person at one of our upcoming events.
If you would like to help us to develop our next Big Give campaign in 2026, get in touch with your ideas and pledge your support! By giving us notice of a large donation, we can secure match funding for it from Big Give’s annual Green Match Fund, meaning that your donation will be worth twice as much to Meadows in Herefordshire!
Sincere thanks from Herefordshire Meadows
