When it comes to scanning the landscape for positive impact, the MEERKATworks team is always on the lookout, so it’s no surprise our founder Heidi was thrilled to be invited to the top of Brighton’s iconic i360 by the Sussex Wildlife Trust.
The event, themed “Rewild a Child,” aimed to raise awareness and vital donations for a programme that will help 10,000 children in Sussex reconnect with nature. As a campaign rooted in community, education and the environment, it aligns perfectly with our values as an agency.
Why rewilding matters
Research shows that today’s children spend far less time outdoors than previous generations – just 10% regularly spend time in wild spaces, compared to 40% of their parents.
The Sussex Wildlife Trust is working to change that. Through their community programme, they aim to give thousands of young people the chance to:
- Explore local green spaces
- Discover wildlife up close
- Build lasting connections with nature
This isn’t just about fresh air. It’s about wellbeing, education and shaping the future stewards of our environment.
A campaign with attitude
The fundraising event took place high above Brighton in the i360 tower, giving attendees a literal and figurative perspective on the impact of this initiative. From up there, it was clear: Sussex is full of beautiful wild places – and every child deserves the chance to experience them.
At MEERKATworks, we believe in supporting campaigns that make a tangible difference to the communities around us. Whether it’s through media planning or simply amplifying the message, we’re proud to stand behind causes like this one.
