MONEY raised from sales of Grasmere Gingerbread® Hedgehog and Red Squirrel Collectibles has enabled Cumbria Wildlife Trust to plant trees, protect rare plants on grasslands and restore hay meadows.
“Grasmere Gingerbread® has been giving money to Cumbria Wildlife Trust for many years,” explained James Jolly, the charity’s Donor Support Officer.
“It recently passed the fantastic milestone of £2,000 in donations and this long-term support means long-term planning for nature restoration and recovery.”
Grasmere Gingerbread® started helping Cumbria Wildlife Trust several years ago with donations of 20p from the sale of each Chocolate Dipper - an orange-flavoured chocolate lollipop within a bag of spicy-sweet Grasmere Gingerbread® crumbs.

More recently, £1 from the sale of each hand-stitched Hedgehog and Red Squirrel Collectible has helped to swell the popular conservation charity’s coffers.
“They are very cute, especially carrying miniature liveried bags, and our customers can’t get enough of them,” said Joanne Hunter, co-director of Grasmere Gingerbread®.
“As a business whose customers want to experience the natural world, we rely upon organisations like Cumbria Wildlife Trust to conserve our county’s flora and fauna.
“We are thrilled that our ongoing donations continue to help the organisation to undertake its vital work.”
Red squirrels can be seen at a variety of sites in Cumbria, including at Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s Staveley Woodlands and Bowber Head Farm Nature Reserves and hedgehogs may be found on their Gosling Sike Nature Reserve.
“Cumbria Wildlife Trust relies on the support of the wider Cumbrian community, whether that is individuals, community groups or local businesses,” added Mr Jolly.
