Thank you for visiting the RSPB South West’s JustGiving page, set up because of the floods that affected our Weymouth reserves on July 8 2012.

The floods were a disaster for the wildlife at Radipole & Lodmoor and for our Discovery Centre, which had been newly refurbished for the Olympic Games.

     The Centre's re-fit starts at the end of January 2013. We are hoping to do additional flood protection work this time. The latter will cost around £8k and it's likely we'll have to pay for the repairs before we get the insurance money (less the £2,500 excess!).

     Please spread the word about our ongoing appeal - this isn't going to be a quick-fix and much more money will be needed to get things back how they should be.

     Huge thanks, Fran Luke, RSPB SW Community Fundraising Officer.
