Every Tree can change a life

Nature

30% of your support will rescue 1 tree. This includes the lifting, transportation and the planting of that tree in a Plant & Protect zone within the UK. These trees will be protected from both animals and humans throughout their youth, so they can give future generations shelter and safety.

Each tree can absorb over 1 tonne of co2 in it's life time. We need this natural capital now. Not in 2024 when the subsidies are more lucrative.

Social

25% of your support is allocated to supporting the COVID19 relief efforts.

Young people need your support in this unprecedented and challenging time. Covid 19 has caused instability to the economy and the jobs market, and the impact is felt by communities all over the UK. Young people are being hit particularly hard by this crisis, and it is fundamental that this generation does not lose hope. 
With your support, we can help The Prince’s Trust to be there for young people. Together, we can help to keep their lives on track through this crisis, helping them to build the confidence and skills they need to feel positive about their future, so that they can move into work, education or training and help our communities recover.
 


Inspiration

Where will my tree be planted?

If you choose to sponsor a tree, your Acorn To Oak tree will be planted either on one of our UK-nominated Plant and Protect sites, on private land provided by one of our donors or on nationally protected land.

One of our nominated sites will be dedicated to planting a single tree in memory of each person lost to Covid19.

Your tree will be planted alongside other native trees and in time will transform open spaces into healthy woodland, helping to re wild UK countryside, making for diverse habitat that will become home to a multitude of wildlife.

Who will plant my tree?

Who will do the honor of planting your tree? 

1) Young people supported by the Prince’s Trust and members of the local community on one of our community planting days.

2) Gone West's very own team of seasoned planters.

3) You or your loved ones.

If you choose to gift a tree, we will arrange to have the tree delivered direct to your door at the  or to a loved one to be planted at home at the start of the next planting season.

Clear instructions as to how to plant the tree will be provided as as a well as details of where you can access a video demonstrating the process.

£50 could provide a young person in extreme hardship with a food voucher.
