Our Causes
We have selected two very worthy causes and our goal is to fundraise £50,000 in total.
We are passionate about conservation and are supporting Durrell’s vital work recovering the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. The project aims to restore lush rainforest to protect wildlife by planting trees and creating sustainable livelihoods for local people.
Beth Gallichan from Durrell advised, ‘Durrell’s mission as a charity is to save species from extinction, but in order to save species, you also need to save their habitat. We have worked to restore and protect some of the most threatened habitats on the planet over the last 60 years. This not only saves species, it has the added benefit of capturing and sequestering carbon, repairing the damage humans have caused to nature.’

Steve and Pete’s families have been impacted by a cancer diagnosis, and Macmillan are an organisation they are keen to support.
Macmillan provide invaluable support to individuals, and their families, with any type of cancer and at any stage.
Team DragonFish are honoured to support this wonderful organisation.
