Sheffield, UK – March 27, 2025 – The Sheffield Swift Network is thrilled to announce its new status as a registered charity, marking a significant milestone in our mission to conserve the endangered Common Swift across the city. This exciting development opens up new opportunities for us to raise awareness about the declining swift population, identify nest sites, and provide local communities with information on how to preserve and create swift nesting sites in their homes.
Swifts, renowned for their breath-taking aerial acrobatics and epic migrations to central Africa, are a cherished part of Sheffield’s natural heritage. As a charity, we are now better positioned to secure funding, collaborate with other organisations, and launch innovative projects aimed at preserving the nests of these unique and remarkable birds.
“We are absolutely delighted to become a charity,” said Ann Ellis, of the Sheffield Swift Network. “This new status will enable us to increase our conservation efforts and involve more people. We look forward to working closely with the community to ensure that Sheffield’s swifts thrive for generations to come.”
We invite everyone to join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter and to get involved in our efforts to protect Sheffield’s swifts. If you would like us to come and give a talk to your community group about swifts and their conservation or would like to know more about how you can help, please get in touch.
