Memory Wall

In partnership with MuchLoved, we have launched a dedicated ‘Memory Wall’ on our website, allowing you to leave a personal dedication to a loved one. You can add photographs and a message, as well as making a donation towards our work, if you are able to.

As an alternative, you can choose to set up a Tribute, which is a personalised site that allows friends and family to share photos and memories of your loved one.

To access these, simply visit bbcwildlife.org.uk/In-Memory or email

InMemory@bbcwildlife.org.uk

MuchLoved is a registered charity, number 1118590, who also provide practical advice when you’re going through a time of loss. In addition to providing the Memory Wall and Tribute pages, they handle card payments (where made) and Gift Aid on our behalf for these services.

AGM - Save the Date!

This year, our Annual General Meeting will take place online, on 14 October. Your formal invitation will be sent to you with your autumn magazine and all of the relevant documents will be available on our website at bbcwildlife.org.uk/AGM

Wild Walk Week is back and its bigger and better than ever

Our annual fundraising week is back this October and November, and we need your help to make it our biggest and best yet. For more information on how you can take part, simply visit our website at bbcwildlife.org. uk/WildWalkWeek, where you can find links to fundraising materials, set up your own JustGiving sponsorship page or, for a limited time only, pre-register your interest in our first ever Fire Walk! A Fire Walk is an opportunity to test your mettle by walking along a path of hot coals in your bare feet and, if you pre-register your interest online, you can save 10% off the minimum fundraising requirement.

The meeting will be held on Zoom and you won’t need an account to join us. We are running a separate Member Appreciation Day to thank you for your support, so this AGM will be for formal business only.

Can you help us with a small increase in your membership donation?

Your support is hugely valued, however if you can afford even a small increase in your membership donation, it will go a long way in supporting us with our vision for a Wilder Birmingham and the Black Country. Please contact us at membership@bbcwildlife.org.uk or call 0121 523 0094 to discuss any small increase you can afford. Thank you.

Member Appreciation Day

On Saturday 9th September, we’re holding a free Fun Day for our members, to thank you for your support and to give you a chance to meet some of the team. Edgbaston Park Hotel have kindly donated room hire and have agreed to host the day for us, which will take place from 10am until 3pm.

The team will be delivering a range of activities suitable for everyone, from guided wildlife spotting walks, top tips on taking stunning wildlife photographs to craft workshops using local, natural materials.

Find out more about all the activities available and book your free place at bbcwildlife.org.uk/member-day or call us on 0121 523 0094

We’d love to see you there!
