About the event

The Cornish Seal Sanctuary, a charity dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of seals, plays a vital role in protecting these marine animals and raising awareness of ocean conservation. Established in Gweek, Cornwall, the Sanctuary cares for injured, sick, or orphaned seals brought in from local coasts, often impacted by pollution, marine debris, and human activity. Through its dedicated team of marine specialists and volunteers, the Sanctuary provides critical care to seals, preparing them for a safe return to their natural habitat whenever possible.

Each rescued seal has a unique story, reflecting the impact of our actions on marine life and the importance of conservation. The Sanctuary also supports education, offering programs and tours that inspire visitors to become stewards of the ocean. By highlighting the threats facing seals and other marine creatures, the charity promotes environmental responsibility and conservation practices within local and global communities.

Donations to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary are essential for funding medical treatments, food, and facilities for these animals, as well as educational outreach. Every contribution aids in the recovery and survival of seals in need, making a lasting difference in marine wildlife conservation. Support for the Sanctuary helps ensure that these remarkable creatures continue to thrive along Cornwall’s coasts for generations to come.

So jon us for a talk on the 19th of November! Proceeds go to the chairty!
