£75k raised from latest WWT appeals
Thank you to everyone who has given to the Lady Scott Memorial Fund and the Power of 10 appeal.
The Lady Scott Memorial Fund has raised £30,000 to date and this total is rising every day. The money will provide a great boost for our work with Bewick’s Swans and for other projects that were dear to Lady Scott’s heart.
The Power of 10 appeal has raised over £45,000 and will enable WWT to unlock funding through the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF), a vital source of grants for WWT projects.
The LCF scheme has changed the face of our nine centres, funding everything from visitor facilities to new wetland habitats and species recovery projects.
However, the need to match funds with a contribution of 10%, often at short notice, has been a significant impediment in the past. The Power of 10 appeal is important as we can go ahead and apply for LCF grants, safe in the knowledge that our 10% match funding is ready and waiting.
