Fleet Pond Society
(UK, 290637) Browse events
YTD Raised: £601.00Fleet 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.

Sea-changers
(UK, 1142119) Browse events
YTD Raised: £485.00Sea-Changers is a marine conservation charity responding to a marine crisis. Imagine if there was a turnstile on the sea and every time you went diving, for a surf, sailing or on a cruise you were somehow asked to give a pound, a dollar or a euro as a kind of entry fee and all the money raised was used to make a huge difference to marine conservation projects. Sea-Changers is a new charity that aims to do just that and raise money for marine conservation in the UK by creating a community of Sea-Changer businesses and individuals who will work together to raise money for marine projects. Our approach is simple. We know many people love the sea and love being able to practice their sport and leisure pursuits in, or by the sea. We provide these sea-users with quick and easy ways to give something back to the sea and make a difference to the marine environment by making small donations to marine conservation that when added together can make a BIG difference.

The Conservation Volunteers
(UK, 261009) Browse events
YTD Raised: £462.00The Conservation Volunteers have been reclaiming green places since 1959. Right now, when one third of the UK's green places are in danger of being lost or degraded, our work is more important than ever. The everyday green places that people use are especially vulnerable. 10,000 playing fields were sold off between 1979 and 1997. And only 10% of the UK's allotments remain. Places like these do not have special protection. They are all under threat at a time when local councils are cutting budgets. But neglecting green places is a false economy. It doesn't take long for a once-loved open space to become a magnet for anti-social behaviour, and a cost to society. So looking after green places isn't just about caring for nature. It's about caring for people as well. A well-used green place is a classroom, a gym, a playground and a sanctuary. It is a place that is good for people as well as for wildlife. The Conservation Volunteers help hundreds of thousands of people each year to reclaim local green places. Through our own environmental projects and through our network of 2,000 community groups, we see people – every day, and all across the UK – taking responsibility for their own local environments. You can be part of it too. Join in, feel good.
