Zoo2U COVID-19 Update - 6th June 2020

Firstly thank you very much to all those kind people who have supported us through the COVID-19 pandemic (via https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/zoo2u or Paypal - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). We really appreciate all of the donations and purchases that have helped keep us going. As things stand we have been working with our MP’s and BIAZA to ensure that we have the funding to continue.

As things stand the government is offering support until the end of July. We have applied for this funding however please be aware that we know of many zoo’s who have had this funding rejected.

We are carefully planning for the next stages of engagement with our amazing supporters and customers. To this effect we will be implementing the following soon to ensure the ongoing welfare of our animals and subsequently sustain the business:

• Resume Outreach – We are re-writing our risk assessments and carefully planning how we can continue to deliver outreach to schools, parties etc whilst adhering to safe distancing. We expect news soon.
• Discovery Centre – We are working with Hall Farm to be able to open the doors to our zoo and intend to put on some displays both in our centre and outside. These will be managed carefully to ensure safe social distancing is adhered, but we also provide a good experience.
• Patronage – We will be delivering new monthly subscription services to help sustain the business on an ongoing basis. These will be via Patreon.com where subscription services will delivery behind the scene footage, exclusive animal learning information and lots of fun personalised content involving our animals. Look out for this coming soon!
