Donating to a charity that you or your loved ones care about can provide comfort and joy for many commemorative occasions. Here at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) we offer various opportunities to celebrate a loved one, special event or your own love of wildlife conservation.
Perhaps you are passionate about the vital conservation of endangered wildlife, or our education work which inspires the next generation to protect our planet. Maybe you have fond memories of Edinburgh Zoo or Highland Wildlife Park and would like to have your own dedicated space there.
Wherever your interests lay, you will be safe in the knowledge that a celebratory gift or gift made in their memory will have a lasting impact for years to come. Your gift will help protect wildlife in Scotland and around the world.

Collection Instead of Flowers
You can arrange a collection at the funeral of your loved one in lieu of flowers which can then be donated to RZSS. Some choose to set up dedicated in memoriam fundraising pages online – you can do so via JustGiving here. Contact Mia Lutsch at supportus@rzss.org.uk or call 0131 314 0380 to discuss your dedication.
