The Naturesave Trust was set up in 1995, to fund environmental and conservation projects throughout the UK. The Trust obtains 100% of its funds from the premiums generated by Naturesave Insurance, part of the Benefact Group, and the home of green insurance with over 30 years’ experience in protecting people and the planet.
The Naturesave Trust has been funding environmental charity projects since 1995. Grants have been awarded to almost five hundred individual projects, covering renewable energy, nature conservation, the circular economy, sustainable food and social welfare. Read the case studies about the projects they have funded.
