One World Animals – Animal Handling Events
We are a small organisation that rescues and cares for exotic animals such as snakes, lizards and tortoises. We hold events to raise awareness about these animals to both a) gain interest in these animals so that there habitats can be cared for and b) inform people about the conditions and commitment needed to have such a creature as a pet. We hope that this prevents rash decisions where people buy a cute little lizard that then grows to a 6 footer, and also gives children the opportunity to meet animals that they wouldn’t normally know about. As David Attenborough said “If children don’t grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it, and if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it, and if they don’t protect it who will?”.
Target Audience
Our main focus is on families and children aged between 3 and 16.
We are based in Twickenham but hold our public events in locations such as Abbots Langley, Wendover, Amersham, Maidenhead, Wokingham, Fleet, and Cobham.
Key Dates and Timings
We hold a minimum of 10 public events per year. We also visit around 10-15 schools (this part of our business is growing), and then attend approximately 50 private events (such as birthday parties, christenings etc).
Specific Opportunity Details
Your opportunity in partnering with us is to show your client base that you are doing your bit to help raise children with a care for the natural world. That some of your profits are used to educate the next generation and help to protect wild spaces around the world.
We are only small, and only operate in the West London area and surrounds, but if that is also your base then we could give discounted entry for our public events to your clientel. We could use your logo on our leaflets and information that are distributed to schools etc

Investment
We would love to have an annual income that we could depend on for our animal care. We have high costs in the winter months because of the heating bills required to give the animals the conditions they require. Our vet bills can be large and are obviously random. If we could get sponsorship to allow us to get vet insurance for our animals that would be perfect.
Other Info
A pet insurance business would be a perfect partner for us! But if your business could do with being associated with an educational, nature loving enterprise then we would love to hear from you.
