What the charity does
Feed the Birds is a nature-focused befriending programme aimed at people over 18 experiencing loneliness or social isolation. Trained volunteers visit once a week to provide and maintain a bird feeding station and to chat with their client. Founded in 2016 by Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Feed the Birds became a stand alone charity in May 2024.
