No-one in the UK is more than 72 miles from the coast, and over 50% of our wildlife lives beneath the waves. Our seas, shores and wildlife have inspired generations of writers, artists and naturalists - we need your help to protect our seas so future generations can experience the same wonder and amazement.

Why join the MCS Corporate Benefactor Scheme?

Joining the MCS Corporate Benefactor Scheme provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your concern for the marine environment to the increasingly aware public and business community. More and more companies are realising that they can help MCS to protect our seas and at the same time meet a range of key business objectives.Gower-A-Conway.gif

As well as supporting vital conservation work, the scheme allows companies opportunities to motivate their employees through fundraising-focused campaigns and volunteering schemes, to reach out to communities through popular events, to benefit from access to new audiences and other promotional opportunities, and to demonstrate social and corporate responsibility.

We offer four levels of support (see below), each of which can be tailored to individual business needs. If you would like to join the MCS benefactor scheme, please call either Marianne Steele or Katherine Stephenson on 01989 566017 or email fundraising@mcsuk.org with your full contact details and we will call you.
