Story
Capgemini are supporting the Telford Exotic Zoo, we have committed upto £1,000 through our Capgemini Community Investment Grant matching money raised here.
The Exotic Zoo are creating a Care Farm area where small farm animals will be housed in an engaging themed area. Care Farm work is very popular for animal assisted therapy. It will attract groups with vulnerable individuals and provide health and wellbeing benefits for our local community.
The money raised will be used to buy materials to create the Care Farm. Fencing and enclosures are required. Capgemini volunteers will work alongside a wider team to prepare the land and help build the area.
Our aim is to provide the not for profit zoo with £2,000 towards the new Care Farm.
Scott Adams Exotic Zoo Director and BBC Blue Peter Animal Man is thrilled that Capgemini are assisting in the creation of the zoo that is moving and expanding from its site in Donnington to Lakeside in Priorslee.

Scott Adams the Zoo Director and BBC Blue Peter Animal Man told me about a pensioner with Alzheimer’s who found great comfort in building a relationship with a Meerkat before passing away and many disadvantaged and poorly youngsters who form trusted relationships being able to care for farm animals.
