Saving Suffolk
campaign.
As a Society we take our responsibility as a steward of nature and a contributor to protection of the environment seriously; and we know it’s something that our members and prospective members care about deeply.
Our region is blessed with some of the most wonderful natural habitats in the country – but they are increasingly under threat.
Saving Suffolk is about doing what we can, together with our members, to protect our wild spaces. Our initiatives range from volunteering opportunities for our staff and members in local projects, to using some of our profits to provide much needed funding for wilding and habitat protection.
We want to protect Suffolk’s special natural environment so we’re throwing our support behind these environmental charities.
Our partner.
Suffolk Wildlife Trust is the county’s nature charity – the only organisation dedicated wholly to safeguarding Suffolk’s wildlife and countryside.
VOLUNTEERING
Supporting our communities.
Our Saving Suffolk drive is backed up by our staff volunteering programme in which our employees have four paid hours every month in which to volunteer.
This offers employees different opportunities to use the time that they have available in a strategic and effective way, to most benefit each organisation. Staff are encouraged to volunteer with Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
Staff can also volunteer for other organisations that are linked to our chosen United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Goal 3 – Good Health and Wellbeing
- Goal 10 – Reducing inequalities
- Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Goal 13 – Climate Action
