A spotlight on our fundraising superstars, Alfie & Max

Alfie (8) and Max (5) from Cumbria, love Chester Zoo and all of the animals that call Chester Zoo home. In July 2024, they decided to share their love for Chester Zoo by taking on the huge challenge of climbing Eryri (Snowdon) to raise money for our global conservation work. Alfie and Max raised an incredible £1,358 for our conservation work - which will have a huge difference.

We couldn't do all we do without superstar fundraisers like Alfie and Max - thank you to Alfie and Max and to all our amazing fundraisers!

We are in the midst of an ongoing global, biodiversity and extinction crisis. Every day, our charity is fighting to help prevent species extinction both here in the UK and around the world. Every penny raised through your fundraising helps the survival of species on the brink of extinction and helps to ensure nature can thrive in the future. 

Every penny donated to our charity helps to ensure nature can survive and thrive – and will help to save the species you love.
