Getting people involved

There are many ways in which you can get other anti hunt people involved in your area:

Hold information stalls

Place Hunt Watch cards and posters in various places
Ask your local libraries, health food shops, animal rescue centres, vets, charity shops and newsagents.

Donations to cover cost would be appreciated

To save on postage and printers fees here is a basic Hunt Watch poster you can download and print (pdf file)

Organise a meeting
Organise a meeting in your area; it will raise awareness with the general public who may have never heard of hunt monitoring before. Let them know what is involved and make them feel welcome - they are there for the same reason as you. Swap ideas and discuss the different ways in which you can help Hunt Watch. Sunday is usually the best day for a meeting. A local village hall or community centre is always a good place. Offering drinks and food makes it more informal, and it can be a good way to fundraise.

Fundraising
Why not become a regular fundraiser for Hunt Watch? We can provide collecting tins for you to put in your local shop etc.

Set up a standing order with us or send in a donation

We would also be very grateful for any vital equipment you can donate, such as Ordnance Survey maps, GPS Global Positioning System, cameras and video cameras (old and new), binoculars, Dictaphones etc.

Becoming a hunt monitor

Regular monitoring of your local hunts will put a high degree of pressure on them. They will be watching their every move, just like we are.

Being a monitor you may see animals being chased and killed. You may also get be intimidated and have threats from the hunt.

Do not go hunt monitoring alone!
