Feeding the animals at Dudley Zoo this Christmas

Fundraising for Dudley & West Midlands Zoological Society
£125
raised of £100 target
Christmas, 25 December 2020
We are home to rare and endangered species to support animal conservation projects.

Story

Dudley Zoo is a non for profit charity which rely on ticket sales to operate and care for their animals. Due to Covid-19 they have had a difficult year, having to close during the two Covid-19 lockdowns. During both closures they have needed to continue to feed and care for over 1,600 animals. 

This Christmas I am asking you to make a donation rather than sending us Christmas cards. Any donation will help support the zoo to continue to care for the animals over the winter period.
