The Palace Trust
(UK, 256356) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 256356) A Hidden Gem Located in England’s smallest city, The Bishop’s Palace in Wells is over 800 years old and is the official home of the Bishop of Bath & Wells. Built in 1206, the medieval Palace and its 14 acres of gardens are home to some of Britain’s most fascinating built, landscape and cultural heritage. The Palace is a Grade 1 listed building and parts of the site are Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Yet our greatest secret is that our gardens contain the pre-historic well pools that give the City its name! Creating the People’s Palace Our purpose is to protect, conserve and make accessible The Bishop's Palace as a place of historic, architectural and landscape interest. We operate the Palace as a visitor attraction and community resource, offering a range of public events, tours, exhibitions, learning opportunities and family activity days. This year we have already welcomed 47,000 visitors, a record for the Palace. We employ a small team of staff and are supported by 300+ volunteers. 60% of our income comes from entrance tickets, membership, venue hire, catering, private and public events. The remainder is raised from voluntary sources, grants and donations. Support The Box Blight Appeal This year’s annual appeal is raising urgent funds to pay for the replacement of 130 metres of Box hedging in the formal gardens, which are suffering from Box Blight. There is currently no effective cure for this fungal disease, which attacks the Box plant resulting in bare patches and dieback. This means that we will have to dig up all of the current hedging and replace it with a resistant alternative. This work will need to happen over the winter months and our aim is to cause the least disruption as possible to visitors, but it will be a major gardening job for our Head Gardener James and his small team. It will cost in the region of £3,000 to purchase the new hedging, and then James and his team will spend five days removing and then planting up the new hedges - all 320 of them! We have decided to use a new plant called Euonymus because it looks very similar to Box and we will be able to faithfully recreate the look and feel of the gardens, although it will take some years for the plants to mature and get back to their full glory. The simplest and quickest way you can help is to make a donation here through our Virgin Money Giving page. Whatever you can spare will be gratefully received and will help us to ensure that the formal gardens are back in the best possible condition ready for Spring and the new season. And if we reach our target any surplus funds will go directly towards our gardening costs for 2014. Please do consider making a donation via this fundraising page or contact our fundraiser [email protected] to learn how you can support the charitable work of the Bishops Palace. Thank you!

Rainforest Saver Foundation
(UK, SC039007) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Are you concerned about the destruction of tropical rainforests? Or is poverty what matters most? Rainforest Saver saves rainforest and alleviates poverty with one great solution: we help slash and burn farmers to farm in a way that makes it unnecessary for them to keep burning the rainforest, while getting better crops year after year after year. Go to to support Charles Barber's original and interesting Personal Challenge for us. Cameroon farmer's children, Melanie and Benjamin. When you donate to Rainforest Saver you help children like these to have a better, healthier life, while saving the rainforest that both they and we need. When population densities weresmall slash and burn worked reasonably well. But now there are over 200 million such families worldwide. They are destroying more forest than logging or cattle ranching, or anything else, while they themselves remain very poor. The richness of the rainforest is in the trees, not the soil. When the trees are gone the soil quickly becomes infertile, and the farmers have to keep burning more forest to survive. The forest has no time to regenerate, and repeatedly cultivated rainforest land can turn into desert. However the farmers in these regions rely on the land to survive. The only solution is to find a better way of farming. Land turned to desert by repeated slash and burn, and fertile Inga cultivation. (Photos Trees for the Future and FUPNAPIB) Rainforest Saver promotes a well-tried and tested better way of farming, called Inga alley cropping. It maintains and improves the fertility of the soil, so the farmer can cultivate the same plot indefinitely without burning more forest, and he gets more crops. Benefits of Inga alley cropping Restores degraded land Provides more food Works year after year Provides income for the farmers Prevents erosion Preserves rainforest Provides firewood No chemicals, so debt free farming In 2010 Mrs. Mendo Antoinette is very happy to get Inga seedlings to start her Inga alley plot, and in 2012, her well cared for plot has healthy maize growing between rows of Inga trees. (Photos GastonBityo Delor, 2012) She says ' Today I can say I am the most happy woman in Cameroon, I am the first woman to be decorated by the Cameroon Government because of Inga. I am also the first farmer whose Inga plot has been pruned and maize already sown.'
