Country Living Magazine Spring Fair Supports The Field Studies Council

The Country Living Magazine Spring Fair is proud to support The Field Studies Council (FSC) as its affiliated charity for the annual event held at the Business Design Centre in London’s Islington from 12 – 16 March 2008. The partnership for the Fair will see £4 from every ticket purchased for the Gala Evening (Wednesday 13 March, 6.30 – 9.30pm) going to the FSC.

The Field Studies Council is an environmental education charity committed to helping people understand and be inspired by the natural world.

“Our national network of 17 centres provide informative and enjoyable opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to discover, explore, be inspired by, and understand the natural environment” says Steve Tilling, Communications Director of the FSC. “The donations from ticket sales at the Spring Fair will be gratefully received and we are extremely appreciative for the support of the Country Living Magazine Fair. The money raised will be put into FSC Kids Fund which provides financial support for dis-advantaged young people who may not otherwise be able to enjoy an FSC visit.”

The Country Living Magazine Spring Fair, now in its 17th year, will boast more than 400 designers, small producers and craftspeople from across the UK exhibiting at the Business Design Centre. The event attracts thousands of visitors who enjoy the relaxed ambience and browse the best of British crafts, home accessories, unique jewellery, clothing, and homemade food and drink – away from the high street crowds.

Guy Foreman, head of shows at Country Living Magazine, adds: “We are very pleased to support such a commendable cause. The work of the FSC is hugely important in terms of educating not just children but individuals and families about what they can do to appreciate the environments’ needs and to protect its diversity and beauty for future generations. I hope that the funds raised from their partnership with the Fair will help The Field Studies Council to continue to provide this invaluable education.”
