Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. This fundraising campaign has been developed as a Conservation & Wellbeing project. It is run with and by the young people in the care of 1848 Ltd (and the brilliant staff teams that support them). 1848 is a residential care provider for looked after children in Somerset, England.

We have been inspired to launch this campaign by the incredible Greta Thunberg. Like Greta we are starting out small but have very big dreams... we want to save the rainforests! 

Every £1 this campaign raises will help to protect approximately 435 sq ft of rainforest. This figure is based on an average land price used by the World Land Trust of £100 per acre (1 acre = 43,560 sq ft). Your donation will go directly to the World Land Trust and we will convert your donation into sq ft protected and add it to our Rainforest Protected counter on our campaign website: letsbuytherainforest.com

As well as this Just Giving page our young people and staff are inviting celebrities like Greta Thunberg, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey and even Brad Pitt to kiss and sign our 'Kiss a Frog' cards for the Rainforest. 

All of the kisses we collect will be auctioned and 100% of the proceeds will go the World Land Trust.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

The minimum donation allowed by Just Giving is £2, which will help to protect a whopping 870 sq ft of Rainforest! Over 1000 sq ft with gift aid.
