Story
Our friend Phil Nelson passed away suddenly on 14th August. Instead of flowers we would like to do something different and more meaningful.
He was a huge cat lover and we would love to get a bench near an enclosure dedicated to him at London or Whipsnade Zoo.
The bench will have his name on and stand in his memory for years to come, it will hopefully be somewhere his family and friends can visit.

7 years agoOver target, woohoo! Thanks to everyone who donated. xx Looking at what we can put on the bench inscription. Maybe everyone could share what they remembered most about Phil or what you associate with him. Or a saying or quote he used a lot? Want to make it personal to him. But remember it will be on public view, so keep it family friendly ;-)

7 years agoJust looked at fees we have to pay so have had to up the money we need to raise :-( Bench is £1000 but site takes 5% of that straight away, then Paypal and banks take a percentage too, never that easy is it! We raised this pretty quickly though so shouldn't take too long to hit this mark.
