Sussex Bat Group, Vincent Wildlife Trust and others are working hard to safeguard the greater horseshoe bat species by purchasing and restoring a roost site in Sussex. But we need your help. To be successful, we must raise £350,000 over two years. As well as monies from the Sussex Bat Groups own reserves, we've received the very generous help of our local bat groups, Surrey, Kent, Essex, London and Hampshire, plus additional, fantastic support from PTES, bat group members, local ecology companies and Southwood Foundation. Altogether, so far, we have already raised just slightly in excess of £118K . We now two months to raise the balance of £82k and have been fundraising. We have two months to raise £82K. Once the purchase is completed, we then hope to progress to raise further funds through both fundraising and grant applications for the necessary restoration and improvement of the roost building. This is estimated to be in the region of £150K.
