Essex Wildlife Trust gets more enquiries about corporate volunteering than it can accommodate. For team building days the Trust has introduced a charge for groups coming from companies that are not corporate members. The Trust gets many corporate enquiries and we cannot cater for all teams. Charging allows us to cover the costs associated with the administration and organisation of team days and support the work of the charity. 

The charge is £1,000 per day for up to 10 people (and £50 per additional person up to 15 people). If the organisation requesting a corporate volunteering day is a Platinum corporate member, there will be preferential rates and dates.
