DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD
The Railworld Wildlife Haven has been fortunate enough to have received several legacy’s over the years. The greatest without doubt was from our founder Rev Richard Paten – Estimates are that he dedicated over 25 years of his life and he paid for and acquired over 12 acres of inner city land for the project!
Recent Legacies are from Geoffrey G Steels Chief Mechanical Design Draughtsman at Baker Perkins –
He left his entire estate to the charity, this enabled us to pay off the loan that the volunteers had acquired to purchase, restore and install the footbridge over the River Nene.
Another Legacy has been received with thanks from Patricia Ann Seaman ... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Remembering the ‘Railworld Wildlife Haven’ in your will. We have never had any core funding and the Volunteers rely on their efforts to raise funds. Maybe you would like to help?
