A place in Greenpeace’s history
Your loved one’s name can also be added to our Book of Remembrance, weaving them into the history of Greenpeace. This book, kept in the Greenpeace UK office shows visitors, staff and volunteers the names of those who have made vital contributions to our work.
For inclusion in the Book of Remembrance or for any other questions, please contact Andrew Sturley at andrew.sturley@greenpeace.org or phone 020 7865 8116.
Andrew has worked at Greenpeace for many years and is passionate about defending our natural world, so he can tell you more about how to make a gift and how it will be used.

Although we are a non-profit organisation, Greenpeace UK is a limited company and not a registered charity, which means donations made in memory are not eligible for Gift Aid. Being a company allows us the freedom to run political campaigns, speak out on important issues and challenge anyone who threatens the planet, which would not be possible as a registered charity.
