Corporate Support - Scottish Seabird Centre

PARTNERSHIP AND SPONSORSHIP

We are looking to partner with business and corporate organisations, to develop and deliver programmes and projects that will help us collectively work towards achieving our vision ‘To ensure that Scotland’s marine environment is healthy, wildlife-rich, valued and enjoyed by all’ and our purpose of "Inspiring and educating people to care for our marine environment".

We believe that partnerships should be mutually beneficial. Your company can benefit in a range of ways by drawing on our expertise, using our facilities and contributing to our conservation and eduction activities. You will be working with a charity of national repute and will be able to demonstrate your, medium to long-term, commitment towards sustainability, good environmental stewardship of the marine environment and supporting the communities we work with. You will also be contributing to the implementation of key UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We benefit from these partnerships by gaining access to knowledge, skills, expertise and networks that help us strengthen our organisation. It also leads to greater financial sustainability over the medium to long term which helps us invest further in our activities and extend our reach to different audiences; inspiring more people to take action to protect our marine and coastal environments.

CORPORATE TEAM DAYS

Corporate team days at the Scottish Seabird Centre give your team the opportunity to support our conservation, education and outreach (such as wildlife surveys, beach cleans, nurdle hunts, education resources) or business support needs (such as digital support or maintenance activities). We set out to ensure our corporate team days are fun and accessible, giving your people the opportunity to enjoy time together while learning about, and helping to protect, our stunning coastal and marine environment.

We have a range of options available in return for a small charge to cover our core support costs.

"The Cirrus Logic Edinburgh team had an amazing experience at the Scottish Seabird Centre with a variety of activities and such stunning surroundings. The staff really appreciated the opportunity to work together in person. We learned much more about the marine world and it's great to know the work we did will have had a positive impact - we are now fully versed in nurdle hunting! The day was well organised and presented, taking account of different needs and abilities. Everyone had a great time and we definitley recommend it to others."
