FW: BT Openreach volunteers available in more regions

[Laurinda Luffman]

Morning All

 

Andrew Bunten from the Hexham Swift group was asking about the BT Openreach project. In partnership with the RSPB, Openreach is offering the use of its cherry pickers and engineers where their engineers wish to volunteer a day to help put up Swift boxes (ideally, where a good number of households/boxes are needed for a particular street/streets).

 

The RSPB pilot was very successful last year and Natasha has put Openreach in touch with a number of RSPB groups. More Openreach engineers/crews have now come forward to say they’d like to be involved in the areas below. If there are SLN groups who would like to take up this offer, can they please contact Natasha and she’ll put you in touch with the relevant Openreach organiser:

Shropshire

Aldershot

Portsmouth

Norwich

Bury St. Edmunds

Haverfordwest

South Wiltshire

Grantham

Chelmsford

Tiverton

 

Sorry, Andy, nothing in Northumberland as yet, but if we get interest in new areas where we are looking for groups to take advantage of this lovely volunteering offer, I’m sure Natasha will let the SLN know.

 

That’s all for now!
