Wild Futures’ Monkey Sanctuary, established in 1964, is home to monkeys rescued mainly from situations of abuse and neglect from the UK primate pet trade. Devastatingly, the sanctuary is facing threat of closure due to the huge financial impacts of the last few years, putting the rescued monkeys at risk.
After nearly 60 years of providing specialist care for monkeys, Wild Futures’ Monkey Sanctuary is facing the very real reality of having to close. The Covid-19 pandemic forced the charity into spending their reserves to get through that extremely uncertain time. Now with the cost of living crisis and increasing monthly outgoings, Wild Futures’ Monkey Sanctuary continues to face huge financial difficulties putting the promise of a home for life for the rescued monkeys in danger.
Wild Futures launched an appeal to save The Monkey Sanctuary in October 2022. Since then they have raised £100,000 which has been fundamental in seeing them through the winter. With outgoings of £50,000 a month they desperately need to raise money to cover those costs whilst rebuilding their reserves to continue as a sustainable organisation, and provide sanctuary to primates rescued from the UK primate pet trade. This campaign will be crucial in helping us reach that goal!
With huge thanks to the Olsen Animal Trust and Freedom for Animals, we have an incredible £15,000 of matched funding to use for our campaign this March. This means that in just two weeks we could raise a possible £30,000 for the Save Our Sanctuary appeal!
From 14th – 28th March, your donations to us could be DOUBLED at no extra cost to you! But remember to SAVE THE DATE as donations will only be matched between midday 14th and midday 28th of March.
Thank you ❤️
