Wear it Wild: Frequently asked questions

Wear it Wild is WWF’s annual fundraising event where we’re asking you to wear an item of wildlife-inspired clothing and raise money to help protect our incredible world.

We want to see you wear it. Brave it. Rock it. Nail it. Boss it. Strut it. We want to see you work it. Because if we’re going to save our world, we need to be fiercer, braver and louder than we’ve ever been. So from the playground to the workplace, no matter how you Wear it Wild, get fierce for your world.

Signing up is free and we’ll send you a fantastic fundraising pack to help you plan your event.

It’s really simple!

We understand if you can’t take part in Wear it Wild. As the event can happen on any day of your choosing, is there an alternative day you’d like to Wear it Wild instead? If not, please email fundraising@wwf.org.uk and we can cancel your registration for you.

You can Wear it Wild in any way you like. That could mean just wearing some wild accessories, such as elephant earrings or a leopard print scarf. From tiger stripe socks to going all out in a home-made parrot costume - you can be as daring as you wish! 

Sustainability: WWF is committed to leading by example in reducing the environmental impact of our events and we know that many participants share the same goal. We’re also committed to ensuring our events are inclusive and everyone can take part! Here are some ways to Wear it Wild sustainably and inclusively:   

• Already got something animal or nature inspired at home? Don’t buy something new!  
• Borrow animal inspired clothing from friends & family  
• Go to a charity shop and try thrift your clothes!  
• Wear a colour to represent nature! It can be as simple as blue coloured socks to represent the sea, or a green t-shirt to represent turtles.   

Don’t want to dress up? Try something else! Turn your hobbies wild: crochet some animals, make nature inspired cupcakes, create an animal themed quiz! 

There is no set fundraising target for Wear it Wild. We ask everyone to raise as much as they can. When you sign up, you’ll receive a fundraising pack which has lots of helpful tips to reach your own fundraising goal. The team are always on hand to help with additional support too.

The easiest and quickest way to collect donations is by creating a JustGiving page. It’s easy to set up, quick for friends and family to make donations and great at keeping track of your total!
