In memory of Joyce Jones

24th May 1928 – 9th January 2020

We’re raising money in Mum's honour for Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre in Dorset through the Jim Cronin Memorial Fund for Primate Welfare and Conservation.

Mum was a big fan of the Monkey Life programme on television and we took her to visit the centre for her 89th and 90th birthdays, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

Monkey World was set up in 1987 by Jim Cronin to provide abused Spanish beach chimps with a permanent, stable home. Today Monkey World works in conjunction with foreign governments from all over the world to stop the illegal smuggling of apes out of Africa and Asia. At the park visitors can see over 250 primates of more than 20 different species.

Monkey World always made Mum smile, and donations in her memory will help other people experience this extraordinary place for years to come.
