A homewares and gifts company, Creature Candy, has joined the effort to save the Scottish Seabird Centre.
They will raise money through the sale of limited edition Puffin prints, as the centre suffers from financial difficulties due to COVID-19.
In order to avoid permanent closure, the Scottish Seabird Centre has set an overall fundraising target of £200,000.
Creature Candy want to do their bit to ensure the centre can continue their important work. “Creature Candy are proud to support a number of wildlife charities and important conservation projects,” said Lizzie Barker, founder and director of Creature Candy. “The Scottish Seabird Centre provides a wonderful environment for the public to enjoy and learn about seabirds and other marine animals. It also plays an important role in the conservation and protection of some of the most fragile habitats on the planet. Its survival is imperative and we sincerely hope we can help to make this happen.”
So, from today, Creature Candy is launching a four-week campaign via Crowdfunder to sell limited edition puffin art prints. The prints will cost £15 each, with £5 from each print sold going to the Seabird Centre. They have set a goal of £10,000 in total (a donation of £3333 for the centre) but are hoping to raise as much as possible.
