Inspiring People, Improving Places - BTCV is the UK's leading practical conservation charity.
BTCV connects people with place, builds healthy, sustainable communities, and increases people’s life skills. It aims to create a better environment where people from all cultures feel valued, included and involved.
BTCV currently supports 140,000 volunteers a year taking hands-on action to improve their urban and rural environments, and provides a Community Network to support local groups. Activities include regular conservation tasks, UK and International Conservation Holidays and the successful BTCV Green Gym® programme. BTCV also offers a wide range of training opportunities from practical conservation to people and life skills management. An on-line Shop is available making products and services accessible to all.
BTCV currently employs 720 staff and has an annual turnover of 26 million. Our income is sourced from a wide range of charitable trusts, central and local government grants, lottery funding, our own commercial operation, as well as individual donations and legacies.
Our Strategic plan for 2004-2008 set out to:
- Enrich the lives of 1 million people through involvement with BTCV, volunteering opportunities, employment, improved health and life skill development
