Puffin by Mike Alexander

Last month we posted about a dedicated legacy event which we would be holding in the following month. This has now expanded to include other aspect as well as legacies and we would like to invite you to the event.

We would like to give you the opportunity to get to know us better by inviting you to a special event we are hosting for the first time on Wednesday 7th November. This will be at our headquarters in Tondu where you will meet some of our Trust staff, who work to protect and care for our local wildlife and nature reserves, and also gain a real insight into your local Wildlife Trust.

As many of our long-term members have expressed an interest in leaving a gift to our Trust in their will, we will be talking about legacy giving, how austerity is changing the way we are funded and how we are responding to this very real challenge. We will also share with you some of our successes and explain some of the difficulties we face and give you an opportunity to discuss the wildlife issues that matter to you.

The event will be held in the Discovery Room at Parc Slip Visitor Centre, Fountain Road, Tondu, Bridgend, CF32 0EH. Refreshments will be available from 10.30am and a series of short talks will start at 11am. They will last approximately 1 hour, after which there will be an opportunity to ask questions and chat to the staff.

If the weather allows, there will be the option of a walk around the nature reserve. This event is open to both members and non-members but please bare in mind that there are limited spaces.

We do hope that you can join us on the day and please feel free to bring a guest with you. Please RSVP to Rebecca via r.vincent@welshwildlife.org or 01656 724100 by Friday 2nd November.

We hope you can make it.
