Why support BTCV
Whilst climate change is a global problem which can all too often leave individuals feeling powerless, BTCV know from our 50 years working in the heart of communities that when people feel engaged and empowered, anything is possible. Our trained staff and volunteers are the catalyst for many people and communities to improve their environment and work towards saving the planet.
BTCV's Carbon Army aims to help people across the UK unite to take front-line action on climate change, whilst improving the places that matter to them, for this and future generations.
But we cannot make this difference alone. To achieve real change, we need your support - to help us reach out and inspire more people and to demonstrate that together we can make a real difference at a local level while tackling a worldwide problem.
Dig...
£10 could equip a volunteer to dig a drainage ditch, diverting water to help prevent flooding during stormy weather.
Plant...
£20 could help volunteers rejuvenate a local woodland by planting saplings fitted with special protective guards, so they can withstand all weathers and have the best chance of maturing into magnificent trees.
Build...
£30 could teach new volunteers how to stabilise sand dunes and strenthen our coast's natural defences against erosion by the sea.
Clear...
£40 could enable a team of volunteers to clear dogwood from chalkland areas to give juniper and rare flowers the chance to thrive, bringing colour and life back to the landscape.
Grow...
£50 could help a group of volunteers plant vegetables and fruit in a communal garden in an inner-city area, reducing food miles and therefore CO2, improving the diet of local families and introducing them to the joys of growing their own!A donation of any amount will be immediately put to work to help us connect with more volunteers and deliver more practical conservation work. A regular gift via Direct Debit would help us secure the future for the Carbon Army, and make a lasting difference throughout the UK. By supporting BTCV's Carbon Army you enable us to educate and inspire local people and communities to care for and about their environment. Your support really does make a difference.
