Appco Group Support Australia assists endangered species by bringing in new donors to ‘adopt’ animals with the World Wildlife Fund.
In February and March, Appco Group Support Australia has achieved a successful Endangered Species Adoption Campaign for the WWF.
By ‘adopting’ endangered animals like pygmy elephants, tigers and orangutans – donors helped the WWF’s global efforts to protect wild animals and their habitats. Donors even got a fluffy toy, and an adoption certificate.
Appco Group Support witnessed a considerable growth in donor numbers throughout the Endangered Species Adoption Campaign, which took off in Circular Quay in Sydney and King George Square in Brisbane during a week-long screening of the Australian Open Tennis.
Appco Group considers continually offering animal adoptions as part of its ever-strengthening relationship with the WWF.
Appco Group Support UK recently made a visit at the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home to witness how their work is serving the animals.
Appco Group Support UK field representatives experienced first hand how their work to garner charity donors is making a difference to abandoned and lost pets.
UK Relationship Manager Dominic Lester-George, Appco Group Support said that a recent VIP trip to the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London was both an educational and personally satisfying visit for all involved.
“Our field representatives are really passionate about what they do and today got the opportunity to meet some of the furry friends they are helping”, he added.
The world’s largest donor acquisition agency, Appco Group Support works with various charity partners including Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, which has been in operation for 150 years, providing care for homeless pets and helping them with training in an effort to find new homes.
.
“The opportunity to experience the behind the scenes operations of the home, coupled with the information provided by the staff was incredibly insightful”, said Chris Gibbs, UK field representative of Appco Group Support.
“Working with the trainers to learn, first-hand, how they train the dogs in the home by being paired up with some of the home’s current residents was definitely the highlight of the day for me”, he added.
For Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Senior Direct Marketing Officer Rachel Samuels, it was a pleasure to have the field representatives at the home.
“They showed the enthusiasm and energy that I’m sure they apply to their work every day,” she said. “It’s exciting that we are in a position to show exactly where the money you’re raising goes when you come in for a tour, but to be able to show you part of the groundwork is equally as important.
“…the work, passion and energy that all the Appco fundraisers put into our campaign is amazing. The number of regular givers they have signed up has blown us away and they have far exceeded our expectations”, she concluded.
