About campaigning and advocacy
Become a letter-writer for the RSPB. Just by writing to key decision makers, you can play an important role in saving birds and their habitats. You can join RSPB campaigns without leaving your home, by sending a letter or an e-mail to key decision makers about policies and practises that benefit wildlife. All we ask is that you spare a little time, a couple of times a year. Making a differenceWriting to key decision makers does make a difference. Members and supporters have written on topics as diverse as the proposed airport on the Cliffe Marshes in Kent, the management of hedgerows by Local Authorities, and the use of unsustainable artificial stoppers in wine bottles. As voters, constituents, and consumers you have a voice in protecting birds and the places they live. RSPB campaigns give you the opportunity to join with others and make your voice heard loud and clear. We will update you on your actions and keep you informed through our campaigns newsletter We’ll support youWith all our campaigns we will provide you with full campaign briefings, contact details on where to send your letter and hints and tips on making your letter more effective. We are available to answer any queries or burning questions that may be causing you writer’s block. We will also update you on your actions and keep you informed through our campaigns newsletter Campaigns Update, published three times a year. ‘I write letters for the RSPB, as it is something I can do easily from home in my spare time. I know it makes a difference and my MP always replies to my letters.’
