Urgent Volunteer Appeal: Help Us Save Exotic Species This Week! 🆘✨

Dear friends and wildlife enthusiasts,

We are reaching out with an urgent plea for your help. Right now, our team is critically short-staffed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday — the very days when we need the most support to care for and protect our beloved exotic animals. Currently, we have only one volunteer covering these days, and we cannot do this vital work alone.

Why is this urgent?
Every day counts in our efforts to rescue, rehabilitate, and safeguard exotic species from threats like illegal trade, habitat destruction, and neglect. Your support ensures these extraordinary creatures receive the care, attention, and advocacy they deserve. Without enough hands, we risk compromising their well-being and our ability to continue our vital work.

What do we need?
We are calling on compassionate, reliable volunteers to step forward and join us on these critical days. Whether you're able to spare a few hours or commit regularly, your help will make a real difference. No prior experience is necessary—just a kind heart and willingness to learn.

How can you help now?

• Volunteer for a half-day or full-day, Monday to Wednesday
• Share this message with friends and family who might want to get involved
• Contact us ASAP to secure your spot and make an immediate impact

Your contribution now can change lives — not just for the animals we care for but for the future of exotic species everywhere. Every extra pair of hands helps us do more, reach further, and protect more.

Please don’t delay—our animals are waiting, and our work depends on you. Reach out today at info@apes.org.uk or call 0300 302 0998. Together, we can turn this urgent situation into a powerful call to action!

Thank you for your compassion and support. Let’s make this week a success and give our exotic friends the care they urgently need.

With gratitude,

APES CIC Volunteer Team 💚🌍
