Wild Futures Winter/Spring Newsletter 2023

Monkey
Brooches
Artist Daisy Jordan, a former
volunteer with us, is selling 4
brooch designs in aid of Wild
Futures. Each design depicts a
species of monkey that lives here
at The Monkey Sanctuary and all
proceeds go to our appeal. So far
she has managed to raise £270 –
thank you Daisy!
Daisy’s work is beautiful, and
if you fancy buying one of her
brooches for yourself, you can do
so via her Etsy shop - just search
for ‘TheScampDen’ and select
the woolly monkey, marmoset,
capuchin, or macaque and the
proceeds from your brooch will
come to us!
Save our Sanctuary
Update
In 2022 Wild Futures was faced with
the devastating reality of having to
launch an emergency appeal to help
Save our Sanctuary. The outpouring
of love and kindness we received
in response has been nothing short
of incredible. Despite the current
situation of the cost-of-living crisis that
is affecting so many people, donations
to help the monkeys came flooding in.
In the first three months of the appeal,
we have raised over £85,000 in
donations from supporters and the
general public alone, and we cannot
say thank you enough to every single
person that has donated.
Food Donation
and sanctuary can survive long term. In
January we received a grant of $25,000
from a charitable trust in America which
takes our total to over £100,000 raised
in just four months. We are determined
to come through this, to continue
providing a home for life to the rescued
monkeys that live at the sanctuary and
continue rescuing monkeys from the
cruel pet trade, and we know with your
continued help we can do it!

From people giving one-off donations,
to setting up monthly donations,
sending food parcels for the monkeys,
organising fundraisers, doing
sponsored swims and runs, organising
art auctions, donating proceeds of their
business sales, to the letters and phone
calls of love we have received – each
one makes a huge difference.
The money you have donated so far
has been fundamental in helping
us continue caring for the monkeys
through the winter. However, sadly, we
are still at risk.
We are working tirelessly to source
income from other areas, such as
grants and trusts, and rebuilding our
corporate support to ensure our home
SAVE THE DATE!
We are running a matched funding
campaign between the 14th and
28th March. With HUGE thanks
to the Olsen Animal Trust and
Freedom for Animals we have
£15,000 of matched funding. Any
donation made to us during those
14 days will be doubled up to
£15,000 – meaning we can raise a
total of £30,000 in just two weeks!!
Please keep a close eye on our
socials @wildfutures for more
information and how to donate!
Thank you to the Olsen Animal
Trust and Freedom for Animals for
your incredible generosity.
