An enterprising donation

Dorset Wildlife Trust has been bowled over by a generous donation of £1000 from Enterprise Holdings Foundation, after being nominated by one of the car rental company’s local employees, Janene Scurfield.

The donation

The cheque for £1000 was presented to Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Chief Executive Simon Cripps by Ben Grist, Risk Supervisor at Enterprise rent-a-car, after Janene, from Southampton, recommended Dorset Wildlife Trust as a charity to support. Janene’s family are long standing nature lovers and members of DWT.

Alastair Cook, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at Dorset Wildlife Trust said “We are delighted that the Enterprise Holdings Foundation has made this generous donation to support Dorset’s wildlife and are very grateful to our member, Mrs Scurfield, for requesting the donation. Dorset Wildlife Trust relies heavily on the support of local members and businesses, which in turn enables us to look after many of the most beautiful parts of the county and inspire the next generation to love nature.”

How will this donation help?

This donation will allow Dorset Wildlife Trust to continue their conservation work around Dorset, and further their effort to protect wildlife and the Dorset landscape in their 50th year as Dorset’s biggest conservation charity.

The Wildlife Trusts (TWT) www.wildlifetrusts.org

There are 47 individual Wildlife Trusts covering the whole of the UK and the Isle of Man and Alderney. All are working for an environment rich in wildlife for everyone. We have more than 800,000 members including 150,000 members of our junior branch Wildlife Watch. Our vision is to create A Living Landscape and secure Living Seas. We manage around 2,300 nature reserves and every year we advise thousands of landowners and organisations on how to manage their land for wildlife. We also run marine conservation projects around the UK, collecting vital data on the state of our seas and celebrating our amazing marine wildlife. Every year we work with thousands of schools and our nature reserves and visitor centres receive millions of visitors. Each Wildlife Trust is working within its local communities to inspire people about the future of their area: their own Living Landscapes and Living Seas.
