21 Aug Feed the Birds
The Feed the Birds scheme was set up and managed by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust in 2016 and has since become a successful befriending scheme and an independent charity.
Their primary mission is to address the issue of loneliness and social isolation among older individuals living alone, particularly in communities that are remote, underserved and face challenges such as poor social cohesion, limited public transport, and higher levels of deprivation.
Their unique approach involves utilizing the simple act of garden bird feeding as a means of providing companionship and contact with nature to our clients.
The organisation wants to create it’s own website and approached the Wynn Foundation for help with funding this.
