As a member or supporter of the Ramblers' Association, you are helping an organisation which is dedicated to:
- protecting Britain's unique network of public paths - all too often, they are illegally blocked, obstructed and overgrown. We work with local authorities to make them a pleasure to walk on.
- providing information to help you plan your walk and enjoy it in safety and comfort.
- increasing access for walkers - our work is helping to establish statutory rights of access to our countryside.
- safeguarding the countryside from unsightly and polluting developments so that walkers can enjoy its tranquillity and beauty.
- educating the public about their rights and responsibilities and the health and environmental benefits of walking so that everyone can enjoy our wonderful heritage.
But remember, we are only as brilliant as the people that support us...
...we receive no money from central government and so we are entirely dependent upon the generosity and support of our members and corporate supporters.
From time to time we might write to you to ask you to aid our work by making a donation. But there are many other ways you can help the Ramblers' Association without putting your hand in your pocket...
Leave a gift in your will - Once you have provided for your family and loved ones, please consider remembering our charity in your will. Not only will this enable us to continue protecting the countryside which gives you so much pleasure for the walkers of tomorrow, but it is also a tax-efficient way of distributing your estate. Please call Zosia Durniat on 020 7339 8511 to order a free copy of our guide to making or changing your will, or download it here (pdf 157KB).
Gift Aid - if you 'Gift Aid It', we can claim a further 28p for every pound donated to the RA, even on membership subscriptions. This accounted for approximately £250,000 of income last year, but if even more people signed up, we could top £500,000 per year. So please send your form back today!
