Fund Raising

Fund Raising and other activities in support of the RSPB form a third part of the Group's activities. Funds are raised at our meetings by raffles, sales of RSPB goods and home- made produce. In addition, we attend local charity markets, sell bric-a-brac and exploit any other good idea that can be thought of. By these means, the Group raises substantial sums for RSPB conservation projects.
