🌟 Thank You for Your Incredible Support! 🌟

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated so far towards our Big Build Project for the brand new meerkat enclosure, launching this Thursday! 🛠️💛

Thanks to your kindness and generosity, we’ve already been able to purchase some essential materials – just take a look at the photo to see what your support has helped us achieve! 📸

We’ve now received our wood quote, and it’s going to use all of the donations we’ve raised so far – but it’s a vital next step in bringing the project to life. Even a donation of £2 makes a real difference and will not only help us complete the meerkat build but also support the ongoing regeneration of the zoo for the future. 🌱

A massive thank you as well to some of the local companies who’ve been helping to make this possible:
🔨 Danbury Fencing – for their quality work on our new farm extension
🐠 Seabray Aquariums – for being a fantastic part of the project
We’re so grateful for the local businesses standing alongside us!

Our new extension is nearly complete, which means we’ll soon be able to enhance our farm enclosures too – another exciting improvement for our animals and guests alike.

And of course, a special shout-out to Sarah (you know who you are!) – we’ve got an idea we can’t wait to share when we next see you!

This really is a community project, and we feel so lucky to be surrounded by people who care. 💚
If you can support us – no matter how big or small – please donate via our GoFundMe link below.

🐾 Big Build Day This Thursday at Maldon Zoo! 🦺🛠️

We’re thrilled to share that this Thursday is Big Build Day here at Maldon Zoo – and we’ve got some fantastic helping hands joining us! The wonderful team at Sky are kindly donating 12 of their staff for the day to help us with the rebuild of our beloved meerkat enclosure. 🦊💛

Our meerkats are firm favourites with visitors and staff alike, and their new home is going to be bigger, better, and more enriching than ever before. But… we could still use a little more help from our amazing community!

🔹 Do you have a cement mixer we could borrow for the day?
🔹 Are you a groundworks expert who could donate a day of your time to help us bring this build to life?

If you can help with either, please get in touch – your support would mean the world to us and our meerkats.

And if you can’t be here in person, you can still be a part of the transformation. 💚
We’re running a GoFundMe campaign to support our Big Build — every penny brings us one step closer to giving our animals the homes they deserve.

👉 Donate here: https://gofund.me/d60a71b7

Thank you for being part of our zoo family – together we can make magic happen. 🦴✨
