All Fergus (6 years old) wanted for Christmas this year was a real penguin. As Santa couldn’t quite make this happen he adopted the penguins at Twycross and arranged for Fergus to go feed them. Fergus was supposed to go and visit and feed them in January but lockdown meant this was cancelled. Fergus is very concerned for the penguins and all the animals so wants to raise “all the money” to help the zoo.

He has decided to not eat sweets until the Zoo can open again and he can go feed the penguins! We may try and do some other fundraising things - watch this space!

We have googled and it costs around £25 to feed 1 penguin a day, Twycross have 21 penguins so that’s £525 a day!!!

In the heart of conservation for over 57 years, Twycross Zoo opened to the public in the 1960s from humble beginnings.The brain child of Molly Badham and Nathalie Evans, coupled with their intense love of primates, Twycross Zoo was founded to fulfil their dream of protecting primates and set standards which were followed by zoos across the world for years to come.Little did they know back then that they'd be responsible for launching an organisation that has catapulted into one of the UK's leading science zoos.Today, Twycross Zoo is recognised across the globe for award-winning welfare, research, education and the conservation of endangered species.This November, visits to Twycross Zoo were set to generate £300,000 of much needed income which the zoo has now lost. We need fundraisers to help raise this money to ensure a better tomorrow.Believe in tomorrow, donate today to support Twycross Zoo this November.
