Message-ID: Dear BERG-ers, We are the HALP-ers, looking for feedback on our messaging below and which variation of our logo to use. If you would like to help us reply your feedback and option choice to newleafanimalsociety at outlook.com by Monday 8th June. When considering your feedback, our messaging is for social media platforms only, aimed at the average reading age 9-11 years old and our purpose is to improve human-animal interaction knowledge of a wide variety of animals across the world. This platform is our chance to make the years of research and knowledge we all accumulate accessible to the general public. If you would be interested in joining the HALP-ers team we would love to hear from you. Messaging 'Welcome to our page HALP (Helping Animals Live Positively). We are a group of animal lovers who want to help animals live their best life by helping you become the best HALPer there is! So why us and why now? Firstly there is no other platform like us. Now, because we are interested in how COVID-19 might have changed the way you and your pets interact. As well as the effects that lockdown might have had on zoo animals, conservation projects, and the wonderful wildlife around you. Are you still with us? Great, we can't wait for you to begin your HALPer journey with us. Each week we will share helpful information with you on how you can improve animals' lives, from sea turtles to your dog at home. We're super excited to bring you some exciting challenges that you can do with your pets - so stay tuned! We aim to create a community of HALPers who've got the know-how on how to make animals happy, both during and after lockdown! If you see any posts we might be interested in, share them with us, with the hashtag #HALPers.'

I just wanted to share something we have just launched as it might be of interest to some of you, plus it might make a unique last minute Father’s Day gift! After the amazing feedback we received from the funders of our recent work at Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary, it was suggested we should take it further and allow people to contribute monthly. So that is exactly what we are doing with a Patreon account, where each month we will use the subscription to build a new feeder, new enclosure furniture, or do a whole enclosure renovation, for different animals at different locations, in order to progress our mission of assisting keepers to continually improve the lives of animals at zoos and sanctuaries. It will mean we can prototype devices and conduct builds that may not be suitable for our Team Building events, and we will be creating our very own Team who will share in the highs and lows of developing enrichment! In exchange our Team Members will get exclusive videos of the process, and of course the results, to provide that genuine feel good factor as they see what they have made possible! As an extra bonus, our first 15 subscribers will receive an exclusive invite to a private Open Day at Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary (in Ascot) to see first-hand the work they have funded at this private facility. To find out more or just to see our new design for Kinkajous we used to kick things off, visit: https://www.patreon.com/TeamBuildingwithBITE Any help spreading the word would be sincerely appreciated and if anyone is interested I also have an idea for a new ‘Institutional’ tier, which might be useful for those teaching students about enrichment and welfare.
