Why Support us?

The North of England Zoological Society, otherwise know as Chester Zoo is a registered charity and needs your support to raise funds for the care and conservation of our animals, and other endangered species across the globe.

We support around 70 conservation projects, from helping villagers in Assam resolve their problems with elephants, ruining their crops and livelihood, to helping protect the tiny harvest mouse on our doorstep in Cheshire.

We constantly strive to improve the lives of the animals in our care through detailed and specialist design and planning of new enclosures, to create natural habitats and improved breeding facilities like Realm of the Red Ape, the largest Orang-utan house in Europe.

Our education programme works with hard to reach children in the North West through the Quantum Leap programme for Merseyside and Ellesmere Port. Further a field the education team are supporting a project in Mkomazi, Tanzania, working on a education package to bring local school children closer to their own native wildlife in the National Parks.

This is just a flavour of the many and varied projects we run and support, but to do all of this we need your help, however small to continue to achieve our mission and create a better future for all our children.

There are many ways you can help, some as simple as recycling your mobile phone, to organising an event for us or getting your company to choose us as their charity of the year.
