    Sally Willers

    SECRETARY

    I work as Operations Manager at Shepreth Wildlife Park and I have been secretary of SWCC since the charity was set up. I enjoy being involved with fundraising events, my favourite event being our Halloween evening. SWCC has succeeded in building and running a very successful hedgehog hospital along with supporting other valuable conservation projects and I am very proud to be a part of it.

    TRUSTEE

    When I was asked if I would consider being a Trustee of SWCC, I quickly accepted as it was an ideal opportunity for me to be part of a like-minded, dedicated team of people who are committed to a cause which matters to me and of which I am passionate about. Fundraising for animals such as the magnificent tiger or our prickly hedgehog friends is extremely rewarding but most importantly I enjoy helping educate people about animal welfare, wildlife and conservation.

  • Colin Taylor - Treasurer

    TREASURER

    Being an accountant and having strong connections with Shepreth Wildlife Park and its family, I was delighted to become treasurer when the charity was formed. I have always been fascinated by hedgehogs and their secret lives, and I am therefore pleased to be a part of such a worthwhile charity.
