To everyone who has donated, fundraised, become a member or an adopter, sent us messages of support and visited us, we can’t thank you enough for your kindness during these difficult times.

Since March 2020, we’ve lost more than £6.8m due to three closures during the pandemic and we still need your support. Your fantastic fundraising efforts are helping us to ensure we can carry out our vital conservation work and continue to offer the best care to our animals.

Feeling inspired? You can donate or start your own fundraiser via our JustGiving page by clicking the orange ‘Start Fundraising’ button or get in touch with the fundraising team.
