Supporting Monkey World During Covid-19

We are so grateful to hear that people would like to support Monkey World during this time.

There are a few ways you can do so:

All funds from adoptions, the GoFundMe campaign, and the donation option on our gift shop go into the Ape Rescue Trust, a 100% fund used solely for the rescue and care of the monkeys and apes at Monkey World, with NO administrative costs removed.

Items listed on our Amazon Wish List are more specialist items required for our primate’s health and well-being, and the Great Ape-eal lists everyday food items to help reduce our shopping bill.

Thank you so much for your support and help during this difficult time. We thank you for helping us to protect our primate family, and wish all your families good health.

We have a huge shopping list to ensure all 260 primates at the park are healthy and well. If you would like to support us by donating any food during your visit, or in a cardboard box appeal, we’d really appreciate the items listed below.

We often get asked whether we can take bedding items for our primates. Some items are useful for warmth and enrichment, but we often receive items we cannot use for the health of our primates. Unfortunately, sorting through these items takes our staff away from the primates, and keeping these items whilst we try to rehome the donations fills the little storage space we have. We would kindly ask our supporters to check the following lists before bringing any bedding donations.

Items gratefully received:

  • Duvet covers
  • Pillow cases
  • Fleece blankets

Items we cannot use:

  • Crochet blankets
  • Duvets
  • Sleeping bags
  • Pillows
  • Cuddly toys
  • Incontinence pads
  • Sheets
  • Towels
  • Socks

 

  • Mattress protectors
  • Clothes
  • Footwear
  • Underwear
  • Suitcases

Amazon Wishlist

If you are further afield, but would still like to help, we update our Amazon wishlist regularly with all the items needed at the park. These range from the ever needed insects and seeds for our small monkey groups, to nuts and kongs for the apes, and even training pouches for our primate care team during operant conditioning training sessions.

All items purchased from our wishlist are delivered directly to the park, so please remember to include your contact details in the Gift Note section. We can then let you know your goodies have safely arrived, and thank you for them!
