Spreading the word
Holding a fundraising event in aid of WWT is a great way to
spread the word about our work. So here are some useful tips
to help you talk the talk, as well as walk the walk.
Let as many people as you
possibly can know about the
great work you are doing.
Friends and family
– email
everyone you know and use your
Facebook or twitter account too.
Colleagues
– put something in a
work newsletter.
Your community
– put up
posters at work, in school, at your
church or anywhere you can.
Your region
– tell your local
paper and radio station; they love
a good story.
Why WWT?
When you’re telling
everyone make it clear to them
what it is about WWT that has
inspired you – nothing beats
hearing about a project from a
passionate person!
Don’t forget to say thank you.
Let people know what you’ve
achieved.
If you want any advice about
communicating or writing press
releases then just get in touch
with us.
We’ve got lots of great stories
You’ve probably heard about our
work to save the spoon-billed
sandpiper and the Madagascar
pochard, but did you know that in
the 1940s there were only around
300 Svalbard barnacle geese
left in the wild? Now, thanks
to WWT Caerlaverock Wetland
Centre, there are over 30,000.
WWT is also helping to look after
the geese by fitting them with
satellite trackers so we can see
where they fly and know what
threats they still face.
