Last year, arc shopping centre in Bury St. Edmunds named Suffolk Wildlife Trust as their charity of the year. 

Throughout 2022/23, the centre has worked with us to raise awareness of Team Wilder by funding signage at arc, encouraging people and communities to take “wild action” - creating space for wildlife to bring back what has been lost - and map it on our website.

Centre Manager for arc, Allan Hassell, said: “We’re delighted to see the impact of our efforts with Suffolk Wildlife Trust as a tangible figure, whether that’s through funds raised or new memberships acquired.”

“The Trust brings important awareness to the wildlife in our county, and it’s marvellous to see our visitors’ positive attitude in supporting their cause."

Shaun Norris, Development & Membership Officer for Suffolk Wildlife Trust, said: “Being chosen as charity of the year by arc has provided Suffolk Wildlife Trust with an opportunity to engage and promote our important work across the county to many of the arc's visitors over the year. This opportunity resulted in more people taking action for wildlife, be it through financially supporting our work or through actions in their life to help bring nature back to Suffolk. Many thanks to the team at arc for their help and support throughout this year and beyond,” 

Thank you so much to arc shopping centre and everyone who has supported us during our time as their charity of the year!
