Story

This is my 3rd annual bat challenge! After the success of the last 2 years, I'm making this year a bit harder for myself! During lockdown I made a catalogue of my egl and Jfashion wardrobe and discovered I now have 31 main pieces. I am going to feature each one in an outfit during October this year!!

I will be posting photos of my outfits every day on social media so you can follow along and see my progress. I will also be sharing facts about bats in the UK and around the world. This seems more important than ever when bats have been unfairly blamed for the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bats continue to face huge challenges in terms of their long term conservation. Thanks to amazing supporters such as  we are able to continue to work to make sure that bat protection is taken seriously. This of course with the backdrop of widespread misconception and misunderstanding of bats. In 2015, OnePoll carried out a survey that showed that bats are the 3rd least favourite mammal in the UK, after mice and rats! It also showed that 1 in 5 people either dislike or hate bats. While fear and misconceptions rapidly spread and remain rooted for many generations to come, respect and appreciation for bats takes a long time to nurture. At Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) we devote ourselves to not only change these negative perceptions of bats but also to conserve bat populations and their habitats.But we cannot do this without your support. Please donate to help bats; your donation, big or small, does make a difference.Photo (c) Hugh Clark/www.bats.org.uk
