Funding Case Studies
1. Affinity marketing - Galloway Scottish Cheddar
In April 2008, two major Scottish brands came together with two aims in sight: to get more families involved in wildlife and; to develop a wider appreciation of nature across Scotland. Galloway Scottish Cheddar is now supporting the work of the Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) . Read more about what Galloway Scottish Cheddar think about working with SWT.
2. On-site sponsorship - Shell UK
Shell UK and SWT have worked in partnership for over a decade. Between 2005 and 2008, Shell focused its sponsorship on a package of works at the Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve (Dunkeld, Perthshire). When matched with other funding, Shell's sponsorship has enabled the:
- development of visitor centre facilities (including new interpretation and a woodland viewing gallery);
- construction of a volunteer accommodation block (using environmentally friendly building techniques);
- construction of a new woodland walkway, enhancing visitors experience and linking with another path into Dunkeld village.
Shell's support has been acknowledged:
- on-site at Loch of the Lowes
- in SWT Annual Reviews and project publications
- in press releases
- at formal opening events
- on the SWT website
Over the same period, Shell employees have enjoyed a range of corporate volunteering days including one at Montrose Basin (Angus) working to upgrade the teaching pond used for supervised pond-dipping activities by visiting school groups.
3. Multi-site projects - Reserves Enhancement Programme 2001 - 2006
Summarised in a short booklet, this highly successful five5-year multi-million pound project spanned work on 95 wildlife reserves and was support by financial support from over 100 funders.
