Fridges for frogs and kettles for kangaroos

A Devon business has come to the aid of a local wildlife charity with a donation of white goods.

Sparkworld, based at Heathfield Industrial Estate, Newton Abbot, delivered a heap of domestic appliances to Paignton Zoo, which is a registered charity. The gift included fridges, freezers, microwave ovens and kettles.

Paignton Zoo’s Jenny Paton said: “These items will help hard-working animal staff and the people who support them, like our in-house vet team and our volunteers. We are extremely grateful to Sparkworld for supporting us in this way.”

Paignton Zoo Environmental Park is a registered charity. For more information go to www.paigntonzoo.org.uk or ring 0844 474 2222.
