Sussex Wildlife Trust

Who we are

We are a conservation charity for everyone who cares about nature in Sussex. We focus on protecting the wonderfully rich natural life that is found across our towns, countryside and coast.

By working alongside local people, we create opportunities for us all to connect with nature, and for nature to thrive in even the most unlikely places. Together, we can make sure that future generations living in Sussex will be able to enjoy the sense of wonder and well-being that nature offers.

Together we can make Sussex life richer.

Our culture and values

We will be Innovative, Passionate, Collaborative and Inclusive in all aspects of our work. These values will be at our core and clearly visible in everything that we do.

Innovative

Develop bold and courageous ways to restore wildlife and inspire people at scale.

Passionate

Be the strongest advocate for nature in Sussex, informed by evidence and learning.

Collaborative

Work in partnership to achieve our goals, to reach new audiences and work at scale.

Inclusive

Promote an inclusive culture where everyone feels respected and able to contribute to their full potential.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We know that like other organisations, we have a long way to go still. All 46 Wildlife Trusts have adopted a framework called Wild About Inclusion, which focuses on inspiring, empowering, and engaging people from all backgrounds, cultures, identities, and abilities to play their part in nature recovery and climate action.
