Equinor is supporting the River Dee Trust, a charity which ensures that children from deprived areas in Aberdeen city and shire can access and enjoy the nature on their doorstep.
The one-year investment, totalling £39,900, includes funding towards practical river restoration and biodiversity improvements, and supports the Trust’s acclaimed education programme.
As a result of Equinor’s support, a dedicated transport and lunch fund has been established to enable schools in the most deprived areas of the city and Aberdeenshire to access outdoor educational activities on the riverbank.
Camilla Salthe, senior vice president upstream at Equinor UK, said: “As a company we value our active collaboration with the communities we work within. We are very pleased to be working with the River Dee Trust as it delivers vital restoration and biodiversity work, alongside its excellent educational programme across the region.
“Our funding is enabling the charity to expand its education programmes, and we are pleased that more children will get to experience all of the brilliant learning opportunities which the charity offers.”
