The Red Squirrel Trust is a newly formed group of dedicated people committed to providing education about our native red squirrels, their habitat and the species that share it with them.

Also red squirrel protection and survival.

 

There is a committee of 6 trustees:

 

President/Secretary  Miss Helen Butler BSc

Chairman  Mr Fred Booth

Treasurer  Mrs Dorothy Hughes

Minuting Secretary  Mrs Jessie Booth

Legal Advisor  Mr Gurney-Champion

Funding Bids Secretary  Mr Simon Craddock MSc

 

Patron: Mr Geoffrey Hughes

Honorary Patrons:

We aim to educate and raise public awareness by:

 

Providing short talks.  All groups of society will be catered for. 

 

Take guided walks.

 

Direct you to a facility where the public can see red squirrels.

 

Provide information packs.

 

Make educational films.

 

Over the past year (2006) we  gave talks to Residential Homes and Primary Schools.  We also provided information packs.  Funding was thanks to an Awards For All England Grant.

 

Funding to keep the charity running comes from donations, sponsorship, fund-raising, gift aid and grants.

 

You can ’Adopt a Red Squirrel’ for a year.
