My story

Dear Friends and Family

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 11th to the 13th of Sepember I am taking part in a survival weekend on Brownsea island in Poole Harbour with another 24 Hardy Women spending two whole nights out in the wild on the island in aid of the Wildlife Trust. There will be no creature comforts, no luxuries, just me and the 24 other intrepid women and the open air. We will be expected to build our own shelters, find food, learn about the wildlife on the island as well as taking part in challenging activities over the two days.

Brownsea Island is situated in Poole Harbour and is home to some of the rarest creatures in the UK, including the mischievous red squirrel and sika deer. The island is owned by The National Trust, which is rich in woodland, lakes and wildlife.

The wildlife habitats and nature of Dorset continues to be lost.

The pressures on our environment, on land and in our seas, are increasing.

Climate change is starting to affect Dorset's wildlife

So if you could spare a few quid it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.
