In 2008 we were pleased to enter
into a partnership with Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust whose
headquarters are in Jersey. This agreement, which involves
sponsorship of the ring-tailed lemurs, will not only pay for the
day-to-day care of the lemurs at Durrell but will also allow the
charity to develop their understanding of the lemurs in order to
protect them and enhance their chances of survival in the wild. It
also enables Durrell to educate people regarding this endangered
species and the complex task of saving these animals. |

For many years we have sponsored
the Manx Wildlife Trust as a corporate member, supporting the trust
through annual contributions and more recently working with the
trust on a beach clean at The Ayres nature reserve on the Isle of
Man. |

|
We also sponsor a local Isle of
Man charity, Sailing for the Disabled, and its yacht: Pride of Mann
II. Sailing for the Disabled helps disabled people by providing
opportunities for them to participate on equal terms with their
more able-bodied friends. |
