How you can Support the Project
There are a number of opportunities for individuals, Groups and Organisations to support the work of the Queen Elizabeth Parks Twinning  Project.

 

Support the Project through online shopping or seaching!


             

 

Now there’s now two easy ways for you to help raise funds for The Queen Elizabeth Parks Twinning Project!

 

Shop Online and Raise Funds 

easyfundraising is a shopping directory listing some of your favourite online stores including Argos, Next, Debenhams, John Lewis, Toys R Us, HMV and over 2000 others. Just use the links on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we'll receive a free donation of up to 15% from every purchase you make. It really is that simple!

 

It’s completely FREE to register and you won’t pay a penny more for your shopping when you use the easyfundraising site. In fact you can even SAVE MONEY as many retailers offer discounts, special offers and even 'e-vouchers' exclusive to easyfundraising.

 

If you shop online anyway then why not raise valuable extra funds for us by using this fantastic scheme. All you need to do is visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/queenelizabethparks and when you register, select The Queen Elizabeth Parks Twinning Project as the organisation you wish to support.

 

Search the Web and Raise Funds

You can also raise funds when you search the Web - with easysearch, a search engine with a difference!

 

When you search the Web with easysearch instead of Google or any other search engine, you’ll raise funds for us with every search you make! Just like easyfundraising it’s completely free to use and if you make just 10 searches a day, you could raise £20 a year - or more - for us, just by switching to easysearch.

 

What’s more, easysearch is a 'super' search engine that combines the strengths of several search providers together - Yahoo!, Bing, Ask.com and many more. easysearch tracks down the most relevant and accurate results from across the Web, which means you’ll find what you’re looking for quickly and easily every time - all in one ‘easy’ search.

 

Check out our unique easysearch page at http://queenelizabethparks.easysearch.org.uk and use it every time you search the Web.

 

So you see it is a simple way to support our work in Africa. Please tell your friends and get them to register as well, and remember to nominate the The Queen Elizabeth Parks Twinning Project.

 

 Fund Raising Events and Activities


 

   
 
We need people to volunteer to help raise funds, to spread the word about the project, to encourage their local school or community group to get involved and to perhaps to take part in an exchange visit.
 
The fund raising ideas currently being organised include, a series of car boot sales, a skills auction. a wildlife quiz night, a music concert and barn dance.
 
If you are not able to go out and raise funds yourself you can always do your bit by supporting one of the events above. (see our latest news and events page)
 
And we are not just after large amounts of cash.  £5 can buy pens, pencils and exercise books for school children, £20 will but a desk for a school and £50 will but wet weather gear for the Rangers. £100 will buy a handheld GPS to aid the Rangers and field workers in the wildlife monitoring programmes.
 
But the project is not just about raising funds, we also want to encourage community groups and schools to take part in a cultural and educational exchange.
 
Sponsorship or Corporate Donation

The Twinning Project is keen to hear from businesses in England and Uganda who would like to make corporate donations or get involved in the sponsorship of one of our programmes.

Equipment Donations
We would also like to hear from you if you think you might be able to donate equipment for the Rangers in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.
 
If you or a group or organisation you belong would like to take part in an exchange visit please visit the Exchange Visits Page
In the words of the Queen Elizabeth Parks Twinning Project's Rangers "By becoming involved in the project you will not only benefit the community conservation efforts of both Parks, but you will get the chance to take part in and become part of life-changing experiences.
So everyone who takes part will know that they really did make a difference".
