It’s time to play your part!

Our Connect Recover Thrive campaign will help to care for the National Park for the future. If you love the Peak District and want to give something back, please sign up today to give a small amount each month. It’s not all about the money, we also need your time and expertise-could you commit today to giving a few hours a month to help us raise funds and support for the Peak District National Park?

Thank you for your support, there is so much more to do, and we need your help to do it.

Give a monthly donation

One of the easiest ways for you to help us to care for the Peak District Nation Park is to give a regular donation. Don’t forget that if you are a UK taxpayer you can add gift aid and the government will add 25% to your donation at no cost to you.

As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are seeking relief in air raid shelters and swimming pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including Shanghai, Chongqing and Hangzhou, have issued their highest-level red alert warnings. Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature hitting 40.9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the situation.

Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心), fatigue, sunstroke and even death, with senior citizens and people with long-term illnesses particularly vulnerable to heat waves.

Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900 million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with temperatures above 35°Cwas 5.3, up 2.4 days over normal years, breaking the national record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.

Parts of Europe are also in the grip of heat waves and experiencing extreme weather events after the western part of North America faced extreme heat waves last year. In response to the exceptionally high temperatures, the United Kingdom has declared a national emergency and issued the highest-level red alert warning for Monday and Tuesday for the first time. More alarmingly, the average global temperature in June this year was 0.4°C higher
