About Us

The Peak District National Park Foundation is a registered charity established to raise funds to care for The Peak District National Park and make it more inclusive.

Our vision is a National Park enjoyed and conserved by everyone, forever. It should be a vibrant, colourful, and safe home for the wildlife we all love.

The Park’s heritage tells our story and inspires future generations, so let’s celebrate it.

Our right to enjoy the National Park was hard won by ordinary folk. In that spirit, let’s fight to make it ever more accessible, for everyone to enjoy.

But it is also unique and very fragile; we must always strive to keep it special.

This is what we believe – and why we exist. With your support, we can start to make good things happen.

 

 

Our Mission is to grow income and support to care for the Peak District National Park for everyone to enjoy forever.

Our aim is to raise funds and create a culture of philanthropy supporting the Peak District National Park.

We support activities which keep the Peak District special and make it a National Park for all. We connect people who care about the National Park and have the means to support it with the partners striving to care for this special place for everyone.

We want to see more land managed for wildlife, more rare habitats protected and more people able to enjoy the Peak District National Park.

Our priorities are:

  • Preparing for a future climate
  • Conservation and habitat restoration
  • A National Park everyone
