As part of our community giving project, we’re proud to support Action for Conservation (AFC), a UK grassroots charity inspiring and empowering young people to become the next generation of environmental leaders. AFC stood out to us due to their innovative approach and impactful programs, which align with our commitment to sustainability. We hope our donation of £5,000 will help further their mission and make a lasting difference.
AFC empower young people to actively contribute to creating a revitalised, diverse and effective environmental sector, bring about long-term and meaningful change in their communities, and shape the values of wider society to build a greener future in which people and the planet will thrive.
"We are so grateful for Mewburn Ellis’ support of our work," says Lani Dines, Fundraising Manager at Action for Conservation. "Together we can support young people to understand their part in nature and feel motivated and inspired to protect it no matter what path they decide to take in life."
Eleanor Maciver our Sustainability Champion states "Our passion for sustainability is driving work to address our own environmental impact and has highlighted the need to lead the way on taking this action for others in our field. Action for Conservation is a natural choice for us – supporting young people to lead on the environment and shape a greener society for the future. We are excited to see the first-hand impact AFC are making and to work with them over the coming months."
