achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|WEG manufactured and sold a variety of
wildlife habitats during 2025 including; tawny
owl nesting boxes, small bird nesting boxes,
swift nesting boxes, hedgehog
houses/feeding stations and bat roosting
boxes. WEG only produced a small number
of products due to the loss of the facility
which the charity had previously had the
benefit of working from, reducing our
capacity in terms of equipment and
volunteers. The construction of swift nesting
boxes was WEGs primary product it sold to
residents and local partners. WEG made the
decision to produce its wildlife habitats to
order since the change to our manufacturing
capability and seek projects that focus on
specific need such as the local focus on
supporting swifts with our partners in the
local branch of the RSPB.
WEG did put together a successful
presentation on 'how to build a hedgehog
house' in partnership with the
Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and we will
continue to seek similar projects going
forward to secure regular revenues for
supporting WEGs mission.
In respect of volunteering sessions, we
delivered 52 sessions, with a total of 1,452
biodiversity volunteer work hours throughout
2025. Activities included: Pruning fruit trees,
clearing cages, Weeding/mulching trees.

grazing. Balsam bashing. Bio blitz Caring for
fruit trees, raspberries and hedge.
