Badger cubs now on the webcamWe now have seven badger cubs at our centre, the smallest of which are in the ‘cubby hole’ in the kitchen of Charity Founder Pauline Kidner. You can keep an eye on their progress on our webcam http://www.secretworld.org/webcams.html. They will disappear from time to time to be fed and when they get bigger they will move to one of our rehabilitation areas for the next stage of their journey back to the wild. Apr

Deloitte help give otters luxury enclosureIn September 2012, a team from the Deloitte Bristol office joined Secret World for the day and undertook tasks very different from their day-to-day routines and helped clear and re-vamp our otter enclosure. The enthusiastic Deloitte team also helped erect fencing around the site, a task needing lots of muscle and something that Secret World would really struggle to do alone. They worked exceptionally hard and were so efficient they even had time left over to sweep and clear areas of the Secret World site to ensure it was neat and tidy for the New Year! When asked what they thought of the day they spent with us, they said: “We had a wonderful day at Secret World and it was a humbling and thoroughly rewarding experience that I would recommend to any company team. Secret World staff were very clear with the jobs to be completed but allowed us to delegate effectively so we could still exercise team building skills throughout the day. In addition to completing the tasks for the day, Secret World staff were very keen to show us all the work that the charity does. The tour of the site and the presentation provided to us outlined the key strategies for Secret World. We got to see all the varieties of animals that Secret World cares for from baby hedgehogs to a raccoon that had only just arrived! This hands on experience with the animals really motivated us for the rest of the day. The difference to the otter enclosure from the start of the day to the end was incredible and really filled us with pride that we could contribute to the Secret World strategies and provide a rehabilitation sanctuary for otters before being released back into the wild.” David Pritchard, Deloitte Bristol office

People Source Consulting name Secret World their Charity of the Year 2013  Staff members at People Source Consulting throwing their efforts into Movember in November 2012. Ladies seem to have outdone the gents though! We would like to share a warm welcome to People Source Consulting in Bristol, who have decided to partner with Secret World and name us as their Charity of the Year in 2013 alongside 2 other charities. They are very excited to participate in staff fundraising events; such as Three Peaks, as well as the opportunity to join us here on site for a day’s volunteering, whereby the entire day is spent working together as a team to assist in a vital maintenance project here at Secret World. As a result, they will get the opportunity to take a tour of Secret World, seeing wildlife that many will only see at our scheduled Open Weekends. A truly rewarding experience, a team-building day, and a job well done from all sides involved achieved in just a single day! We look forward to working more closely with People Source Consulting throughout 2013, and a big thank you to them from us for caring! “As an ethical business we see the importance of supporting community projects and charity initiatives in ways that allow our people to not only help those in need, but also to push their own boundaries and take them beyond the norm. Our annual goal is achieved through team and individual fundraising and volunteering with our chosen charities.
We chose to support Secret World because of deep set values they have in supporting our natural environment and helping people to take responsibility for the wildlife around them, which is a huge part of our ecologic wellbeing.
We have lots of exciting challenges planned for 2013 so watch this space and hopefully you can support us along the way!” Ria Davidson, Internal Recruiter, People Source Consulting

First Great Western help set platform for fundraising
First Great Western has become the latest company to jump aboard our Call of the Wild appeal by arranging and donating this huge banner that is being displayed proudly at Secret World’s local train station: Burnham and Highbridge. Richard Morrish, North Somerset station manager first came into contact with Secret World when he was looking for an appropriate charity to which they could donate lost property, and Secret World was an easy choice. “After searching for a local animal charity to which we could donate lost property from stations all over North Somerset, I decided to choose Secret World once I had researched the amazing work they do”. A site visit to Secret World where he met baby otters, deer and other injured and orphaned wildlife convinced Richard he’d made the right choice, and gave him the incentive to do more. And do more he did, by working with Secret World, and CBS, Richard managed to arrange this spectacular banner which is now on display at Burnham and Highbridge train station for all passengers passing through Highbridge to see. A massive, banner-sized thank you is given to First Great Western for their continued support of Secret World Wildlife Rescue. It is companies such as this who can make a real difference to us. If you would like to enquire about making gifts in kind, partnering with Secret World, staff fundraising or would like to find out more about ways you could support us, please visit http://www.secretworld.org/corporate_partnerships.html or contact | ||
