Members of the Trust have approved the transition of the organisation to become a local support group as part of Cumbria Wildlife Trust. It is anticipated this change will be complete by the end of March 2025.
What does this mean?
As a result of this change it is not possible to join the Trust as a new member but you do NOT have to be a member of CWT to join in our activities now or in the future. Our active rainforest project continues unaltered and more information on other projects will follow once the local support group is fully established. We hope to do more not less.
The local support group will be a much simpler organisation with no formal trustees or directors. We still need volunteers to help us run our projects and to deal with some basic administration. If you want to get involved with this or find out more about our plans please contact us at hello@ruslandhorizonstrust.org
What if I am an existing member?
If you are current member, your membership will continue until renewal and will then lapse. All future direct debits have been cancelled but you may also wish to cancel with your bank. There is no transfer of membership to CWT but we hope you will support this local organisation which has given us a new home. All existing RHT funds will be transfered to the new local support group and will be used solely to further education and conservation in the Rusland Valley area.
