NFU Mutual have generously agreed to match pound for pound any further donations* to Butterfly Conservation's 40th Anniversary STOP EXTINCTION Appeal.

Chief Executive, Dr Martin Warren said "I cannot emphasise enough how important it is, in these troubled financial times, for Butterfly Conservation to have sufficient funds to meet the cost of the essential work needed to save highly threatened species, like the Duke of Burgundy and the High Brown Fritillary. NFU Mutual's announcement has given a tremendous boost to our appeal".

With £86,000 raised to date, the ambitious target of £100,000 is within sight. NFU Mutual's Blanche Surman said "The NFU Mutual is delighted to be supporting Butterfly Conservation in its vital work to save the UK's endangered butterflies. Let's hope the money comes flowing in!"

DONATE today so NFU Mutual can double your gift. Thank you.

NFU Mutual have sponsored Butterfly Conservation for many years and also donate £10 to the Society for every new insurance policy taken out by BC members.

*Up to a limit of £5,000.
