Whether it is beach cleans, nurdle hunts or wildlife surveys, we have a range of options for all interests in return for an appropriate donation.
The Cirrus Logic Edinburgh team had an amazing experience at the Scottish Seabird Centre with a variety of activities and such stunning surroundings. The staff really appreciated the opportunity to work together in person. We learned much more about the marine world and it's great to know the work we did will have had a positive impact - we are now fully versed in nurdle hunting! The day was well organised and presented, taking account of different needs and abilities. Everyone had a great time and we definitley recommend it to others.
