The costs of doing this are quite high and the only way we can
afford to carry on is with the help and support of many
people.
We use
several avenues for funding which include talks and shows, animal food sales,
sponsorship, web development and a lot of our own money. We have a very good
and understanding vet who helps with the costs envolved in treatment and also
give us very good rates for the drugs and medicines etc needed. Without their
help we couldnt acheive as much as we do.
We made the decision early on not to open
a centre to the public for several reasons the first is that this is about
animals not humans and the second is that to my mind it is better to spend the
money on careing for the animals rather than spending loads of cash on a shop,
toilets, pathways, etc etc, that people have to have before they visit a
centre. We do this for the animals benefit NOT for the
humans!
Talks and
Shows
We offer several different talks and shows covering areas
including animal keeping, meet the animals and conservation for a wide variety
of events from fetes and shows to after dinner talks. We have to charge for
these because of the large outlay involved in both money and time. We have full
insurance.
