In just under a month, we will embark on the Trust for Sustainable Living’s very first Giving Day in support of specific animal welfare improvements in The Living Rainforest. Over the next few months we will upgrade the dart frogs’ enclosure, implement a new themed insect display, install UV lighting for our primates and establish a mudskipper breeding facility. We know the extremely positive impact these items will have on many of our animals, and also on the visitor and educational experience overall on site.
To raise the funding required, the Giving Day running for 36 hours from 12 noon on Tuesday, 25 June will call on the whole community to consider supporting. Support towards this special day can come in different ways:
- Giving - If you feel able to donate a sum to this cause, please follow this link to give. Don’t forget to add Gift Aid if you’re a UK tax-payer.
- Fundraising - If you would like to run a fundraiser, perhaps that’s a 5K run, hosting a dinner party for friends or a fresh lemonade sale, please click here.
- Sharing - If you can raise awareness of this important appeal amongst family and friends, please forward our emails, share posts on WhatsApp and like, comment or repost on social media.
Look out for upcoming Giving Day communications and exciting updates for the 25th and 26th of June. Donations and activities before the Giving Day are very welcome too.
I’m sure with the whole community actively involved in this appeal we will be able to meet these important animal welfare needs. Thank you very much in advance for all your support.
