  Get Involved in Seal Research

• Do regular surveys at your local seal site

• If you’re interested in volunteering with us, we would recommend you attend at least three of our online, monthly meetings. This will inform you about our work and give you an idea about how you can get involved. Make sure you have the correct name on your Zoom account, so we know who you are.

• Once you have done that, please email seals@sealresearchtrust.com and let us know how you would like to help. You can volunteer for any aspect of our research, including: surveying, data processing, analysis, presentation, report writing, etc.

  Become a Corporate Partner

• The Seal Research Trust doesn’t have membership fees, and relies on donations, legacies and funding from corporate partners for all of our income. We currently pay the equivalent of two full-time Rangers, everyone else working for the charity including all of the Officers and Trustees and our full-time Director are voluntary and do not take a salary for the work that we do. Equally, we operate with no overheads from renting or owning offices or property. This is important to us all as it ensures that money donated to our charity will be used directly to help seals and marine conservation projects. If you have a business and would like to learn more about the benefits of being a Corporate Partner (through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), then we would love to talk to you. Please send an email to secretary@sealresearchtrust.com today to receive our Corporate Partnership pack. We would love to hear from you.

Email seals@sealresearchtrust.com for more information about any of these ways to help SRT and seals!
