By supporting the charity that cares for these Commons, you will be playing a crucial role in conserving the nature and heritage of this special place for everyone to enjoy for free, forever.
Your support will help us to
Ensure that the Commons remain safe and pleasant for our visitors
Conserve the Commons as a nationally important habitat for wildlife
Improve the landscape for everyone such as the paths, facilities and playing fields
Why your help is needed
Every path, heathland, bog, stream, pond and woodland on the Commons has an incalculable value that requires ongoing investment. As a charity we rely on the support of the community and visitors who cherish this special to keep the Commons open, safe, clean and bursting with nature. Established by a separate Act of Parliament in 1871, the Commons are primarily funded by a dedicated levy on residential properties that are within three-quarters of a mile of Wimbledon Common or in the old Parish of Putney. Although this income allows us to meet our ongoing operational costs, it does not allow for any restoration or refurbishment projects. By making a donation, you can help ensure that we can hand these Commons on to the next generation in an even better condition than we enjoy them today.
