Birds don't need us, but we need them.

They are an essential part of our ecosystem which we need for our own survival. We are destroying the natural world at an unprecedented rate and songbirds cannot evolve quickly enough to adapt and survive.

Numbers are crashing and more than half our UK songbirds are threatened or in decline. Can you imagine Spring without the sound of birds?

By raising funds and taking part in our 10,000 steps a day challenge, you can change this.

-You can help us discover essential life-saving solutions through funding scientific research

-You can help us raise awareness of the catastrophic situation which nature and songbirds are facing

-You can help us educate people and share practical advice and resources to protect birds

Scientists have warned we are entering the sixth mass extinction. We need to act now to save songbirds.

How to take part

Complete your 310,000 steps throughout the month of May. This could be 10,000 steps each day, or a total of 70,000 by the end of each week, or in any way you like!

Set up your Fundraising page and we will send you a welcome email and step counter. Your t-shirt will be sent to you after you've received your first donation- we'll email you to check your preferred size.

When you raise £100 on your Just Giving fundraiser you will receive one of 3 beautiful pin badges, from a Blackbird, Sparrow or Bullfinch! (Badges can only be sent to UK addresses.)
