As a not for profit organisation, we rely on your generous support to continue our vital science and conservation work to ensure animals survive and thrive.
Please join us in our mission to prevent extinction and protecting endangered wildlife and habitats both here in the UK and around the world.
Help us prevent extinction by adding a donation of 10% .
We can claim Gift Aid on your booking, which means the government will give us an extra 25p on top of every £1 you spend.
It won’t cost you anything but will mean the world to us. All you need to do is tick the box.
By selecting ‘yes’ you agree to the following statement: I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Gift Aid can only be claimed on donations for you and members of your family that visit Chester Zoo.
