Admiral
WWT has partnered with Admiral since 2024. Our collaboration highlights the financial services company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and climate resilience. Admiral has made significant contributions to our Climate Resilience Fund (CRF), protecting and restoring the UK's wetland habitats.
In 2025 Admiral kindly supported our urgent Winter Appeal to answer nature’s siren, helping wildlife and wetlands adapt to the climate crisis.
Why Climate Resilience is important to Admiral
In recent years, the UK has faced unprecedented climate challenges, with warmer summers, wetter winters, and extreme weather events becoming more frequent. These changes pose significant threats to wetland habitats and the species that depend on them.
Admiral’s support for the CRF is helping to protect vital wetland habitats and also contributes to the broader fight against climate change.
Admiral’s support of over £300,000, helps a range of projects across WWT's reserves, from habitat restoration and species monitoring to flood management and community engagement.
Admiral’s support for the CRF will enable us to undertake essential activities such as:
- Enabling the continued work of reserve teams to care for and manage wetland habitats.
- Carrying out desilting and tree maintenance to maintain clear waterways and support specialist wildlife.
- Conducting ecological surveys and botanical studies to monitor and enhance biodiversity.
- Implementing conservation grazing and hedge-cutting to protect wild habitats and waterways.
The impact of this partnership has already been felt across WWT’s reserves, as we respond to increased extreme weather. Admiral’s support of our 2025 Winter Appeal, a kickstarter donation of £125,000, will help us to do even more to respond to nature’s cry for help, and keep our wetlands safe.
We believe that by working together, we can unlock the power of wetlands and help nature burst back to life.

Michelle Leavesley, Chief Sustainability Officer at Admiral:
"Partnering with WWT marks an important step in our sustainability journey. By supporting the Climate Resilience Fund, we are not only helping to protect vital wetland habitats but also contributing to the broader fight against climate change. We are proud to be part of this important initiative and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on biodiversity, our environment, and habitats across the UK."
