Helping Hand Trust - About Us

Our charity aims to conserve, protect and monitor our natural heritage. We assist scholars from all over the world in their research, with the findings often having been featured internationally at conferences and in the media. The founder of the Helping Hand Trust, Dr Eric Shaw, constructed Europe's first artificial reef and we continue to expand it. We also engage in a diverse array of terrestrial and marine conservation projects. Passing on a love and knowledge for nature is another key duty of ours. We have decades of experience helping film crews, journalists and media outlets. Locally we give public and private talks. Most recently we have started engaging more directly with people through TikTok and Youtube Videos.

Our projects and activities could not have been undertaken without many dedicated individuals and groups who have donated us their time, good will and funds. BT Trustees Limited are the Trustees of the Helping Hand Trust.

Many thanks to all of you!
