The Wildlife Trusts are delighted to be John Lewis’s Christmas campaign charity partner. This year’s John Lewis Christmas advert celebrates – with sparkle and a flash of magic – the joy of encountering wildlife in a garden using a cast of wild creatures including a fox, badger, squirrel and hedgehog.
John Lewis, which has a store in Leicester, will donate 10% of the sale of soft toys from the campaign towards The Wildlife Trusts’ work engaging children with nature - this will include wildlife action packs for thousands of schoolchildren, activity booklets, and wildlife resources for teachers to use in lessons.
Chief Executive of The Wildlife Trusts, Stephanie Hilborne OBE, says: “The Wildlife Trusts believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of nature and wild places in their daily lives. That’s why we’re delighted that John Lewis has put some of our most endearing wild animals at the centre of their magical advert and made The Wildlife Trusts their charity of choice this Christmas. With this support we will be able to inspire thousands more children about the wonders of the natural world.”
There is growing evidence that contact with the natural world benefits our health and sense of wellbeing. It is well known that time spent outdoors in nature can be good for children: it can make them happier, healthier and more creative; for some it can have a life-changing impact.
