At Terraverde, we believe everyone has the right to live healthy and full lives that are free from climate harm and wealth inequality. As a new pro-planet, non-party political charity based in the UK, we connect donor funds with projects and solutions that will help deliver a fairer, greener Britain.

Our story begins with the late orchestra musician John Hill, who played on multiple blockbusters from Star Wars to Indiana Jones. John wanted to help uplift vulnerable communities and those suffering due to climate change. He bequeathed a sum of money to help find solutions to these interconnected issues. Terraverde operates in John’s memory.

We are passionate about harnessing our own funds and donors’ gifts, to urgently help the UK and the world’s poorest people mitigate the effects of climate change and poverty.

YOUR support can help us make a difference, by investing in authentic change makers already improving lives. Please consider giving to us today, through our donation page.

FAQ’s

Our trustees are James Armitage (managing trustee), Niamh O’Connor, and Nick O’Sullivan, who have strong financial, green investment and legal backgrounds. Their focus is on creating as much positive impact as possible, fulfilling the wishes of the late musician John Hill. John bequeathed a significant sum of money to help support and protect people hardest hit by climate change. Terraverde launched in September 2024.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, we’re focused on supporting expert organisations that know how to deliver a fairer, greener society.

Our network is constantly expanding, as we identify organisations already making major changes. We currently partner with:

  • Farms for City Children, which has been providing nature engagement opportunities for inner-city children since 1976
  • Buglife, which strengthens ecosystems to sustain and protect populations of invertebrates, whose habitats are under constant threat
  • Rewilding Britain, which works to protect, expand and ‘rewild’ precious and precarious plant and animal habitats across the UK
  • Lenderhive, a specialist mortgage broker encouraging energy efficiency, founded by our managing trustee James Armitage.

Your donations help us make critical changes in four fundamental ways:

  1. Through the support of expert organisations delivering effective climate change mitigation and reducing wealth inequality, in the UK and globally
  2. By funding a ‘moonshot’ competition for UK-based inventors, to support impactful new green technologies and the change makers working to eradicate poverty.
  3. By helping us educate current homeowners and future generations of young people about climate change
  4. Through campaigning for the UK and other Western nations to take much greater responsibility for their own contributions to climate change

A small percentage of funds will be used to run the administration of Terraverde so we can reach our goals and raise further funds.
