DONATIONS

As a not for profit unregistered community group the only funding we receive is from the public and the occasional grant where community groups can apply.  

To continue our work creating an understanding of the urban wildlife around us, motivating people to help maintain urban wildlife habitats, create new wildlife friendly green spaces and run projects such as hedgehog highways and installing swift boxes,  we need to have funding.  

Most speakers at our events charge a fee or request donations to their charities.  This cost between £40-£100 each event.  We also need to pay venue costs when we hold our event "live" rather than via Zoom.  These costs vary from between £70 to £120 per event.

Creating wildlife areas, such as the one at Staveley allotments carries costs for equipment, waste removal, pond liners and planting.  approx £1,000 depending on requirements.

Our Swift Project will cost approximately £2000 with money going towards swift boxes and builders/equipment to install them.

On going cost are our social media costs so we can promote our message!  approximately £300 per annum.

We often use brochures and posters to deliver our message.  These cost approximately £80-£100 per project.

New drill heads for the hedgehog highway equipment is £40 per drill.
