Dudley Zoo awarded funding for Festival of Change

Dudley Zoo and Castle is looking ahead to a Festival of Change event next month (Friday 05 and Saturday 06 June) with backing from The Richardson Brothers Foundation.

Rachel Brown (RBF Trustee) with Matt Lewis (Director at Dudley Zoo and Castle)

The festival aims to inspire and support people to take small and meaningful actions that will contribute to a better future for wildlife, community and the places we call home.

Taking place in the historic courtyard of Dudley Castle, the festival will create a lively, hands-on space where visitors can learn, make, share stories and connect with others.  It will encourage people to reflect on the changes they would like to see, whether that’s supporting local wildlife or rethinking their relationship with the natural world.

Rachel Brown, Trustee at The Richardson Brothers Foundation, said:

“The Foundation is really pleased to be supporting The Festival of Change and its fantastic programme of activities that aims to educate through storytelling, hands-on workshops and guest speakers.

“We’re especially keen to encourage local children and young people to get involved with conservation projects and to make the most of the natural environment around them.”
