Suffolk Wildlife Trust said that after almost two years of fundraising £775,000 had been secured to complete the purchase of Worlingham Marshes, near Beccles.

Fundraising began in February 2024 with the aim of transforming 381 acres (154 hectares) of land into the Worlingham Marshes nature reserve – located in the Broads National Park on the Suffolk-Norfolk border.

Back then, the charity received a grant of £1,999,832 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to help create a nature corridor, as they launched a £775,000 campaign to complete the land purchase.
