Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.

Everyone at the University of Essex who has seen the cygnets and their parents walking around the Colchester Campus has been shocked and saddened to learn of their deaths. So that something positive can come out of this, we have set up this charity page so people can donate money in their memory.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
