Who we are

Located between Easterhouse, Coatbridge and Stepps the Seven Lochs Weland Park is Scotland’s largest urban park. With seven ancient lochs, six local nature reserves, woodland walks, a wealth of wildlife and over 10,000 years of history, the park is a great place to discover and explore nature and heritage.

What we do

Our mission is to make the park accessible to all so that regardless of age or ability, everyone can enjoy the wellbeing benefits of being in nature and exploring our shared heritage.  We do this by working with volunteers to maintain and care for important wildlife habitats and by providing a wide range of free wildlife and history activities for local schools, youth groups and supporting community projects.

Gift Aid Declaration

Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 donated.

Gift Aid is reclaimed by MyParkScotland from the tax you pay for the current year. Your address is needed to identify you as a UK taxpayer.

The additional funds generated through Gift Aid donations are invested in the Parks4Life endowment fund which offers long term support to our wonderful parks through the Parks4Life Community Fund.

Adding Gift Aid to a £10 donation increases the amount claimed by MyParkScotland to £12.50

After paying platform and management fees, this typically means that an online donation of £10 becomes a park investment of £11.53.

So the project receives your £10 donation and the ‘extra’ £1.53 is invested in the Parks4Life endowment fund which supports the long term future of our wonderful parks.

Please notify MyParkScotland if you:

- want to cancel this declaration
- change your name or home address
- no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains

If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
