GO WILD FOR DURRELL

23rd February 2018

Take a walk on the wild side, and unleash your animal spirit to help raise funds for Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. On Friday 23 February, we’re calling on all our supporters, anywhere in the world to enjoy a day of wild activities and fundraise wildly for the world’s endangered species.

Did you know that it costs over £8 million per annum to run Durrell globally? Since 1959, we’ve been on a mission to save species from extinction. We’ve made great progress, but need your support to continue our work as the world’s animals and their habitats face constant threat. They need your help now, more than ever.

Whether you’re at home, in the workplace, at school, or part of a club or team, we invite you to come up with your unique take on ‘wild’, and take part in an animal-inspired fundraising activity of your choice.

So wear it, bake it or workout WILD – just remember on Friday 23 February to have fun, raise funds WILDLY for Durrell – help us achieve our vision for a wilder, healthier, more colourful world!

What is ‘Go Wild for Durrell’?

On ‘Go Wild for Durrell’ day you, our supporters have the freedom to be creative, have fun and fundraise wildly – your way.

This is our first fundraising event of this kind, which with your support could become an annual event on our supporters’ calendars.
