Through our volunteering programme, colleagues supported conservation activity with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, contributing time and effort to protect local habitats and biodiversity across Yorkshire.

During the winter period, volunteering activity supported conservation work across two key nature reserves. At Spurn Point National Nature Reserve, colleagues worked alongside local volunteers to carry out essential habitat management, including fence repairs to protect sensitive ecosystems and maintain safe public access. protecting local habitats and enhancing biodiversity. This activity demonstrates how colleague volunteering can deliver tangible environmental benefits while supporting organisations that care for valued community spaces.

Further volunteering took place at Potteric Carr Nature Reserve near Doncaster, where activity focused on scrub clearance and reedbed management. This work is critical to sustaining biodiversity and maintaining habitats for a range of wetland species, including kingfishers and other protected wildlife.
