Our favourite four UK climate and environmental charities, each tackling the crisis from a different angle: investigation, community action, the law, and protecting real acres of habitat.

Greenpeace Environmental Trust
Registered Charity: 284934
What they do
Funding independent investigations into the causes of environmental harm and the science behind the solutions.
Where they focus
Illegal fishing, plastic pollution, and the true emissions footprint of major polluters.
Why it matters
Evidence-first work that lands on front pages and in select committee hearings.
Why we like them
Slow, careful research is crucial work, and it's what hands campaigners their best ammunition. Without the Trust quietly digging, half the climate stories we read just wouldn't exist.

Friends of the Earth Charitable Trust
Registered Charity: 281681
What they do
Funding research, education and community-led work on the climate and nature crises.
Where they focus
Tree-planting in low-canopy neighbourhoods, climate risk mapping, and national policy.
Why it matters
They connect national climate work with practical street-level action.
Why we like them
We love that they trust ordinary people to lead. Some of the best climate ideas start on one street, with one neighbour, and the Trust knows how to find them and fund them.

ClientEarth
Registered Charity: 1053988
What they do
Taking governments and corporations to court over pollution, deforestation, and climate inaction.
Where they focus
Air quality, fossil fuel approvals, corporate disclosure, and forest protection law.
Why it matters
When campaigns stall, litigation moves. A court win binds every future government too.
Why we like them
Lawyers who treat the planet as their client. No one else in the UK environmental space does this at the scale they do, and watching governments and oil companies have to actually answer in court is its own kind of hope.

World Land Trust
Registered Charity: 1001291
What they do
Buying and protecting threatened habitat in partnership with local conservation groups.
Where they focus
Cloud forests, mangroves and grasslands, with over 2.5 million acres safeguarded since 1989.
Why it matters
Tangible outcomes you can point at on a map. Land kept in local hands and out of the bulldozer's path.
Why we like them
There's something deeply satisfying about a charity that just buys the actual hillside. The acres your donation helps protect will still be standing in fifty years, and that's a kind of certainty we don't get with most climate giving.
