9. Term & Conditions Privacy disclaimer Copyright 2010 The charities we support BWRC WWF Greenpeace NSARDA RSPCA The mission of the British Wildlife Rehabilitation Council is to promote the welfare of wildlife casualties both whilst in captivity and after release back into the wild, and to ensure that casualties are handled within the framework and spirit of the law. The Council is run by a voluntary Steering Committee, which meets several times a year and encourages contact between rehabilitators, organising symposiums and regional workshops. Best known as the world’s leading conservation body, they’ve seen first-hand how wildlife, the environment and human activity are all interlinked. That’s why their passion for safeguarding the natural world has to be backed up by other environmental action – tackling the global threat of climate change (through our big global campaigns like Earth Hour) and helping people to change the way they live to ease pressure on natural resources. WWF is at the heart of global activities in all these areas. They have teams of highly skilled professionals working with governments, businesses and communities here in the UK and around the world. Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action. Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace The National Search and Rescue Dog Association (NSARDA) is an umbrella organisation for Air Scenting Search Dogs in the UK. It's members are the Search and Rescue Dog Associations which are located throughout the UK. Each of the individual Search and Rescue Dog Associations (SARDA) is a voluntary organisation responsible for training and deployment of air scenting search and rescue dogs to search for missing persons in the mountains and high moorlands of Britain as well as the lowland, rural and urban areas. The RSPCA is the oldest and best-known animal welfare organisation. They’ve been responding to and campaigning for animals in need since 1824. It's their vision to work for a world in which all humans respect and live in harmony with all other members of the animal kingdom. They’re best known for their rescue and rehoming work with cats and dogs, but they respond to all animals in need, not just other pets but also wildlife, farm animals and laboratory animals. Upon completing a survey you are rewarded with points. These can then be redeemed in cash or donated to one of five charities, or spread across them, it’s up to you. We also ask for your suggestions for charities you would like us to support in the future.
