On the 4th August at Chatteris Airfield, 19 staff members were ready to participate in a tandem jump at 13,000 feet for Colchester Zoo’s charity Action for the Wild (AFTW).

Unfortunately this has been postponed due to low cloud and fast winds. They will be rescheduling their jump for later this year. The funds raised will be donated towards 'Wildlife Vets International' for the Amur Tiger & Amur Leopard projects which AFTW support.

If you would like to support the zoo staff there will be fundraising stands held at the Zoo on various dates in May and other locations to raise a minimum of £3,000 for the conservation projects. To find out more information about the AFTW projects this fundraiser is supporting please click here
