Friends of the Trust
Many people do not realise that CWT is a small “virtual” charity, with voluntary Trustees, only one paid part time Administrator, and no office premises. The Charity currently does not have a Science Director so there is limited capacity to respond to individual queries.
Please read the FAQ section carefully before contacting us and you may well find the answers to most of your questions.
Our preferred method of contact is via email as that way information can be circulated to Trustees as quickly as possible.
