Join us at the House of Lords for the CountryClubuk Champagne Charity Reception in aid of the Atlantic Salmon Trust’s mission to restore wild Atlantic Salmon and their environment: the date is Tuesday, October 15, 2024: event successfully concluded

We are delighted to invite you to attend the CountryClubuk Champagne Charity Reception at the House of Lords on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, hosted by the Lord Mancroft. Plans have now been finalised—this will be a high-profile, memorable event, as well as entertaining, and it has an important underlying purpose.

The charity to benefit is the Atlantic Salmon Trust, which is at the forefront of scientific work that has recently led the King Charles III Charitable Fund to give significant support. The battle to save the wild Atlantic salmon and its environment is ongoing, yet now there is new urgency—and new impetus and energy already achieving results.

The wild Atlantic salmon has been classified as endangered in the UK—and it is now known that they are an indicator species for the health of the wider environment—the ‘canary in the coalmine’. The goal now is to restore the environment—and to put the case for action to the Parliamentarians, MPs and Lords, who are attending.

Many famous names will be among your fellow guests at this event, including Michael (now Lord) Forsyth, former Secretary of State for Scotland, and Robbie (Lord) Douglas-Miller, Under-Secretary of State for Biosecurity, Animal Health and Welfare in the last Conservative Government.

A short, fascinating film on the wild Atlantic salmon and their UK river habitat will feature actors Dominic West and Jim Murray, who played respectively King Charles and Prince Andrew in ‘The Crown’, and who are now adding their weight to this environmental cause.
