The Safe Water Trust Limited
(UK, XT29576) Browse events
YTD Raised: £375.00
(UK, XT29576) The Safe Water Trust provides Aquafilters for families and communities in developing countries to give access to clean drinking water at the point of use. Turning on a tap to have clean water is something we in developed countries take for granted, but about one sixth of the world’s population do not have ready access to clean drinking water. The majority of these people live in developing countries. The scale of the global problem is widely recognised and it is now accepted that access to water is fundamental not just to health and well-being, but also to sustainable economic development. Whilst there is a general debate about the effectiveness of getting aid to developing countries, there can be no argument about the value of people having clean water. It is a sad truth that drinking dirty water remains the biggest cause of childhood mortality. We have found that in schools where we have provided Aquafilters, there has been a reduction in pupil sickness, an increase in pupil attendance, improvement in learning achievement and also parents have reported that they are spending less money on medicines. The Safe Water Trust is a not-for-profit charitable company, keeping the manufacturing costs of Aquafilters to a minimum. Every penny we receive in donation goes directly towards providing Aquafilters where they are desperately needed. To watch our latest Appeal Video on Youtube, please click here.

Uganda Conservation Foundation (UCF)
(UK, 1087295) Browse events
YTD Raised: £365.00Achieving the balance – between human development and wildlife and habitat conservation – in a country with the world’s third highest population growth rate is critical. This is the aim of the Uganda Conservation Foundation. Working with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), UCF aims to sensitise communities and demonstrate through practical projects how people can gain financial benefits from conservation. UCF’s current challenge is assisting UWA in the recovery of the 400km² Dura sector north of Lake George, where wildlife has literally been wiped out by poaching. The Dura project is an extension of the successful Waterways project, which is combating ivory poaching, bushmeat smoking, live animal trafficking and illegal fishing across Lakes Edward, George and Albert. Other successful projects include measures to reduce elephant crop raiding. Since the excavation of 30km trenches and erection of 13 elephant fences no retaliatory killings of elephants have been reported. Farmers are now harvesting their crops, allowing children to attend secondary school rather than guard crops, proving that simple low-tech solutions can make a massive difference to rural communities’ quality of life.

Salmon & Trout Conservation UK
(UK, 1123285) Browse events
YTD Raised: £335.00When the Salmon & Trout Conservation UK was formed in 1903, the principal threat to freshwater and marine habitats came from industrial pollution. The Association began to recruit members and took shape from the concept that, ‘it is necessary for sportsmen, scientists, experts in each branch of fishery care and administration to band themselves together to protect and nurture a natural heritage that civilisation dissipates.’ S&TCUK became a registered charity in 2008 and is now the only UK fisheries charity that campaigns for the conservation, protection and sustainable management of an aquatic environment capable of supporting an abundance of indigenous fish species, invertebrates, animals and plant life - from source to sea.

Sea-changers
(UK, 1142119) Browse events
YTD Raised: £326.54Sea-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.

Northumberland Wildlife Trust Limited
(UK, 221819) Browse events
YTD Raised: £303.00The wildlife conservation charity dedicated to protecting all species and habitats in Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside. The North East’s unique variety of animals, plants and landscapes is increasingly under pressure from climate change, development on green spaces, intensive farming and pollution. There have been dramatic declines in red squirrels, water voles, barn owls and black grouse in just one generation. Northumberland Wildlife is committed to halting this decline in a number of ways. We manage over 60 local nature reserves and run projects which help threatened species. We work in partnership with companies, local authorities, communities, landowners, volunteers and other organisations to manage the landscape positively for wildlife and people. The Trust acts as the ‘voice of wildlife’ with local planners and developers. It is there to influence government policy at national level. Collectively The Wildlife Trusts lobbied the government successfully over the recently enacted Marine Bill, which will establish Marine Protected Areas around the North East coast. We educate thousands of people about nature each year, working directly with schools, running special events and clubs, and providing information. We believe the key to success is getting as many people involved in caring for their own environment, connecting local people with local places. We receive no direct government funding and rely on our supporters for much of our income. Without you we couldn’t do what we do. It’s a small price to pay for enriching our lives and ensuring that we protect what we have and pass it on to future generations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To donate to New Hauxley Vistor Centre Appeal please click on the link to the left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
