Make a donation
Your gift helps us take the bee story into Hampshire schools, run hands-on sessions with community groups, and bring landowners together to join up habitat so bees and other wildlife can thrive. The Charles Butler 400 Foundation is a registered charity, no. 1215330.
We are setting up online giving. In the meantime, please get in touch and we will let you know how to give.
Take part
We would love your help. You could join us at a village show or event, support a school visit, lend a hand in a community garden, or share a skill such as photography, writing or fundraising. No beekeeping experience needed, just enthusiasm.
