Like many other visitor centres, The Living Rainforest was forced to close for 10 months as a result of Covid-19. Throughout the time we closed we were delighted by all the generous support that we received through online donations and messages of support on social media.
During the three lockdowns we continued to work very hard providing the best possible care for our incredible animals and plants.
There are still many challenges ahead - not least getting back up to our usual numbers of visitors, and making sure we have enough income to continue to operate and provide the highest quality authentic rainforest experience for visiting schools and members of the general public.
We are immensely grateful for any support towards our on-going appeal, and thank you for helping us raise the funds needed to make it through to the other side of the Covid pandemic.

Gift Aid allows charities like us to reclaim tax (25p for every £1) from the government on your donations. If you are a UK taxpayer, by opting to Gift Aid you enable us to treat your payment as a donation, so for each £1 you spend we receive 25p back from the government.
Please treat my payment as a Gift Aid donation. I confirm I have paid or will pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for the current tax year (April 6 2022 to April 5 2023) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs will reclaim on my gifts for this tax year. I understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give. I acknowledge that these Gift Aided tickets are for myself or members of my family.
Please do NOT treat my payment as a Gift Aid donation.
