The chosen charity for February 2018 is the Monkey Haven, Isle of Wight (http://www.monkeyhaven.org/)
Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of creating a blog post for each month, rather than grouping them up!
The Monkey Haven on the Isle of Wight is a fantastic place we visited a number of years ago. I think it used to be called the Owl & Monkey Haven - I think they still have a lot of owls there, as well as meerkats, along with a great variety of primates.
They have really lovely enclosures for rescued animals, and the whole place comes across as well run, clean and tidy. They have a great website too.
They also have a great Amazon Wish List for items they can make use of, which is a really great idea - when you donate by buying one of the items on their wish list it really feels like you are helping the animals directly, though I think it does mean they miss out on Gift Aid for those donations.
The monthly donation for February purchased a net swing for the monkeys to have fun on!
