SALLY WILLERS

Sally works as Operations Manager at Shepreth Wildlife Park and has been secretary of SWCC since the charity was set up. She enjoys being involved with fundraising events, her 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 she is very proud to be a part of it.

Secretary

Jeanette Richards, Trustee of Shepreth Wildlife Conservation Charity

JEANETTE RICHARDS

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

Trustee

Colin Taylor, Treasurer of Shepreth Wildlife Conservation Charity

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