Fundraising is fantastic way to help support worthy causes and there are numerous ways which you can help support Sea Watch – keep reading to find out how you can help.
The year 2020 has been a difficult one for everyone, and whale and dolphin conservation is also suffering due to government cutbacks. Every donation, no matter how big or small, goes a long way to support the vital research which Sea Watch does to help protect whales and dolphins around the UK. Just £20 can help towards the cost of an educational school visit and £50 can help fund major research projects, such as our Cardigan Bay Monitoring Project.
Here are the different ways you can support Sea Watch – we’d love to hear your own ideas too!
