People’s Postcode Lottery head office staff volunteer with the Trust
In August, our Stirling team was delighted to
host staff from the People’s Postcode Lottery
head office in Edinburgh. The Trust has
received funding since 2018, thanks to the
Players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, to
manage growth, sustainability and improve
infrastructure within the charity. The team
spent a day volunteering their time to learn
about how important bumblebees are, how
to identify and record them, and how to make
their gardens and window boxes bee-friendly with our Bee kind tool. They also found
time to help us pull together over 120 membership packs! One of the attendees said
“Really enjoyable day with a nice mix of classroom and practical experience”.
