Charity partner This Christmas, John Lewis is partnering with The Wildlife Trusts* to help protect and restore our nation’s wildlife and natural habitats. The Wildlife Trusts believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy of wildlife and get closer to nature. From protecting green spaces in towns and cities; to ensuring native woodland creatures, like those featured in our advert, have the right environments in which to flourish.
