Other Ways to Partner

Our focus is on working in partnership.  We would work closely with you to ensure that you get the most out of any sponsorship agreement.

Our charitable objectives see us involved in conservation and education projects across Scotland and the globe.  These projects are funded entirely by the Society and offer some unique opportunities you may wish to be involved in.  You can make a corporate donation to any one of our projects that best suits your company’s values.

To discuss current projects that would benefit from your support contact us on development@rzss.org.uk

Employee Fundraising

Fundraising at work can be a great way to bring colleagues together in a fun way whilst raising money and awareness of a good cause.  Nominating RZSS as your chosen charity lends itself to lots of fun animal themed fundraising in the knowledge that money raised will directly benefit our resident animals and the charity work that we do.

Gifts in Kind – Animal Enrichment

Our Enrichment Group records and evaluates enrichment for all our animals.  Enrichment helps to increase animal activity in their enclosures and encourages and promotes appropriate natural behaviours such as foraging for food or nesting.  Enrichment also seves to improve animal visibility to both visitors and staff.  There are five main types of enrichment:  social, cognitive, physical, sensory and food.

We are looking to source materials for enrichment use with our animals.  You may be able to donate materials to us.  Please contact us on enrichment@rzss.org.uk to discuss any possible donation you would like to make.
