The Ruby Robin award is a challenge for children aged 5 to 11 years old to learn about birds and encourage them to take positive action for nature.

The award is aimed at children aged 5 to 11 but we do welcome participants from all ages who want to be inspired by songbirds.

You can sign up to take part anytime over the winter but need to complete your award challenges before 31st January 2025. All challenges can be done where you want and when you want.

To win the award you need to do one activity from each of our four challenge areas; craft and care, a learning activity, bird spot, and a fun & fundraising task.

We have provided a range of ideas and easy to use downloads and resources but would be really happy if you came up with your own ideas as well you just need to tell us or show us what you did when you claim your award.

The resources can be downloaded from the website. We will also e-mail you with links to these when you sign up.

To enable us to keep the Award free at the point of use, we will send them out to all award winners at the same time once the challenge ends, so don't worry if it doesn't arrive straight after you send in your claim.

This is not a free giveaway. The Ruby Robin award is about educating young people with ways they can help save birds and learn about other wildlife.

Evidence of the challenges completed will be required. We reserve the right to refuse any claim which has not been made in the spirit of the charitable and educational aim of the award.
