The Hollie Gazzard Trust was set up following the death of Hollie while at work at Fringe Benefits & La Bella Beauty Salon, Gloucester. Hollie’s family wanted something positive to come out of the tragic loss of Hollie. Hollie’s passion was hairdressing and her family wanted to give others the opportunity that Hollie was fortunate to have and fulfil a career in hairdressing. Application was made to the charity commission and on 25 April 2014, the Hollie Gazzard Trust, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was created. While the family are devastated and can’t change what has happened to Hollie, they hope the funds raised will help others.
Fleet Pond is Hampshire's largest freshwater lake. It measures 52 acres and is surrounded by reedbeds, marshes, wet and dry heathland and woodland. The total area of Fleet Pond Nature Reserve is 141 acres, of which 118 acres is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The reserve provides a sanctuary for a rich community of animal and plant life. Fleet Pond is also a site of historic interest and is described as "the great fishery of Fleet Ponds" in the 1324 Rolls of Account of Crondall Manor. It was probably created by the deliberate damming of natural watercourses in order to provide food in the form of fish and water fowl. The Fleet Pond Society was founded in 1976 by local residents concerned at the deterioration of the pond and surrounding area. Their objectives were to preserve and maintain Fleet Pond and stimulate public interest and appreciation for the nature reserve. Over the years, nearby developments have caused the pond to become dangerously polluted with silt and other contaminates, putting its status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in jeopardy. Large quantities of silt from MoD land have been carried down the Gelvert Stream and entered the pond on the eastern side. On the western side, waste from domestic and industrial sites has flowed into the pond along the Brookly Stream. In 2010, the Fleet Pond Society launched the Clearwater Campaign to help raise funds to tackle the problem. Working alongside the pond’s owners, Hart District Council, and other stakeholders, such as Natural England and the Environment Agency, they began to develop a plan to dredge areas of the pond and create new islands from the dredged silt. Fleet Pond Society patron, Chris Packham, was instrumental in helping to raise awareness of the plight of Fleet Pond when he appeared in a short video, made by the Society, to explain why the pond was in real danger of drying up into nothing more than a muddy puddle. In 2012, thanks to major grants from Natural England and the Environment Agency, work started on the Fleet Pond Restoration Project. Over 20 islands were created from dredged silt in the first phase of the project. Funds from the Clearwater Campaign have been spent on dredging and landscaping Sandy Bay, a popular beauty spot at the pond; building a pond dipping platform for visiting guide, scout and school groups; buying reed plug plants to grow around the new islands, and topping one of the islands with gravel to attract terns and Little ringed plovers. Fleet Pond Society’s Clearwater Campaign continues to raise funds for projects within the Restoration Programme that fall outside of grant funding. Future Clearwater funded projects include one, or possibly two, aquatic nurseries and a new viewpoint on the eastern bank of the pond.

The John Muir Trust is a leading UK charity dedicated to the protection of wild land for both nature and people. Scottish-born John Muir inspired our name and ethos, as the first person to call for action to be taken to protect wild land, and an instrumental figure in the modern conservation movement.

We are achieving this through ownership in over 25,000 hectares of land with partnerships in a further 50,000 hectares. The John Muir Trust educates people about the value of wild places through the John Muir Award. It was started in 1997 to offer people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to learn about wild places. Through the four challenges of discover, explore, conserve and share and three progressive levels of involvement, it has so far helped over 50,000 people gain an appreciation of such places.
