Carlo Laurenzi OBE - Chief Executive – London Wildlife Trust
“PDHCT funding has resulted in real growth of LWT’s delivery capacity since 2007. The funding has allowed us to respond quickly to new opportunities, which in turn has meant that we have been able to position ourselves strategically towards other, sometimes larger funding streams. Perhaps the most exciting element of our agreement with PDHCT is that on finding funding for a specific project from elsewhere, we can unrestrict PDHCT monies; this has led to an increase in our financial reserves, which is reassuring in the current economic climate.”

Simon Bentley - Director - Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
"The Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust has benefitted greatly from the committed support of the Peter De Haan Charitable Trust, whose investment has enabled us to build capacity on a sustained basis. As a result we have grown and developed core areas of work plus a number exciting and innovative projects delivering real benefits for local people and local wildlife. The ‘light touch’ approach of Peter De Haan Charitable Trust has consistently demonstrated real trust and confidence in us to get on with our ambitious programmes of protecting and enhancing the wildlife and wild places of Leicestershire and Rutland for everyone.”
