How
is the Money Used?
To
begin with, it is important to know that the work done by the Trust Committee
is on a purely voluntary basis.
Despite
the fact that we put thousands of hours each year into our work it is
all done on our own free time and the Trust has no paid employees. The
only money which finds its way to the committee is that incurred by traveling,
but aside from this every last penny goes into caring for the birds or
into our conservation projects or education programme.

A
hugely fluctuating amount. In one year we spent over £500 on
a single bird! |

shows, lectures and transporting injured birds. |
