Corporate Support And Involvement With Wildlife

As a wildlife rescue, we deal daily with casualties in our hospital  caused  often through a lack of understanding. Wildlife is present in every part of the world we live in – we believe if you take the time to show people, many of them will enjoy wildlife when they encounter it and find a space for it in their lives.

We see fear and misunderstanding of the nature of the creatures that surround us, but actually they all have very special roles that we too are dependent on.

By sharing our experience with your employees and showing them some of the wildlife that surrounds them, we hope that in the future they will start to make good decisions in their urban space that will help ensure the longevity of our wonderful, fascinating and purposeful creatures.

Through our talks, we help people to understand the creatures we share our planet with. We try to overcome their prejudices, fears and misconceptions and help promote our wildlife and tolerance. By understanding these creatures, we can learn to live alongside them and benefit from their existence in our environment.

We do not profess to have the ability to change the world, but if we can reach people of all ages and backgrounds and get them thinking we hope the decisions they make as adults, in relation to their environment, may just include a thought for our native wildlife and its importance to our world. 

We work with innovative companies that are willing to adapt and look at changing the future for our depleted wildlife. Every journey starts with just one step, so call us and see if you we can take that step with you.

Employee Volunteering:

Many employers and employees like to be actively involved with corporate community investment through the donation of time and skills. The type of activity Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue can offer will depend upon the season and the number of volunteers available. This could be anything from clearing a space for a new enclosure, planting trees, helping us with day to day tasks such as general maintenance or gardening. We are also happy to enrol volunteers at Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue, such as response drivers who help us to collect and rescue injured animals.

Corporate Green Day

As a company, you may consider doing one of the following to support us. We are run by volunteers and funded by donations from our local communities. Here are some of our suggestions:

Have a ‘Dress Down Day’ where each member of staff wears casual clothes to work and donates  £1 to us. You could theme this – ask your team to wear something “green” for the day.

Cause-related marketing:

This brings together the marketing objectives of your company and the charitable objectives of Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue.

Publicly linking with Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue, demonstrates corporate social responsibility and helps to build trust, which in turn will increase customer loyalty and help to open up your business to new audiences. It can also provide a unique selling point and great PR stories. Cause-related marketing initiatives such as on-pack or in-store promotions can provide an incredible incentive for customers to select products or services to benefit the cause.

Collection boxes:

We have collection boxes which we can provide you with which people can put their spare pennies in when shopping at your branches. Every little helps and it’s amazing how it all adds up. Every bit of money you donate will enable us to continue rescuing injured and orphaned wildlife.

Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue is committed to encouraging through education the integration of wildlife into our countryside and our gardens to enable our wildlife to exist alongside us in natural balance. Each year we care for in excess of 1500 wildlife casualties. It is everyones responsibility to preserve biodiversity. Many of these are injured at the hand of man either directly or indirectly. Although caring for the injured animal is our first priority we feel our school’s educational program is as important. To educate children at a young age and give them a greater understanding of the wildlife that surrounds them will help them make decisions in their adult life for the longevity of our native wildlife.

We spend much of our time talking in schools reaching the next generation via worksheets, direct animal contact and talks to promote understanding and conservation of wildlife environments.

We are committed to encouraging children to care for their environment and reduce the use of pesticides by removing the myths that surround our spectacular wildlife and encouraging the next generation to learn and understand that a garden can be balanced and is a great environment for both humans and our native wildlife.

Company Days

Company Work Party Days For Groups Of Wildlife Friendly Folk!

Your company can book a day at our Wildlife Hospital for a team building corporate event day, where you can all work together and also learn about UK wildlife.

We have regular volunteers who come to the centre daily and help care for our many patients. It is rare that we have the amount of people needed to tackle the larger annual jobs we have here on site and for that we need a small army.

We are based in Windlesham in Surrey and our site is very secluded so we have a rapid rate of growth from everything green – all of the trees and shrubs need cutting back annually.

For the day, we have a timed schedule with lots of activity. It starts from 9.45am and runs until 4pm. As well as coffee breaks, you will also be supplied with lunch and refreshments.  

We are a charity so there is a charge for this day. If you are interested in doing something worthwhile to give back to wildlife as well as learning about your wildlife which exists in your gardens and surrounding areas, then complete the form below today!
