A Personal Note from Andy Flower OBE (VFWT UK Ambassador)
’
My career has taken me out of Zimbabwe but in some ways my heart never left. Like many, I especially yearn for the sights and sounds of the Zimbabwean bush, so I was really excited to become the Ambassador for VFWT UK.
I get updates from the team on the ground, on their brilliant conservation work, and stay connected with what I really miss.

our stories
We are very proud of what we achieve every day – rescuing snared animals, providing essential forensic evidence to fight wildlife crime, supporting rural communities to live in harmony with wildlife.
Our stories die quietly if no one helps them travel.
Funding
Every pound goes directly to Zimbabwe
We are a charity operating in a challenging time and place. Occasionally we will make an appeal for funding.
When we do, our UK trustees cover the running costs, so 100% of every donation reaches our team in Zimbabwe.
