7 MORE DAYS TILL OUR GALA DINNER!
Bluebell is a young collared kingfisher. We often get alerted to cases of baby birds who have fallen from their nests. Without their mothers, they cannot survive, so we try to find their nest and reunite them. Successful reunions are among the most rewarding experiences for our Wildlife Rescue Team!
At our 15th anniversary charity gala on the 20th of May, we’re hoping to raise $180,000 so that we can continue to help animals in need, just like Bluebell. The ...

MEET OLIVER STOECKER, OUR INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER FROM GERMANY
Like most of our international volunteers, Oliver got to know about our international volunteering programme through Xu Bo Art & Culture Exchange.
Oliver stayed at ACRES from the 11th of April until the 6th of May. We haven’t had many volunteers from Germany, and it was interesting when Oliver shared with us the differences in culture between Singapore and his country. Oliver was great company and a very efficient worker! He was ...

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
It’s wonderful that, as a parent, you can play a key role in creating a more compassionate society, through your children!
We had a rare opportunity on 8 April. We gave presentations to two groups of kindergarten children – together with their parents - at MOE Kindergarten Punggol Green. Usually, the only chance for us to reach out to both the parent and child together is during our public roadshows. The impact made can be so much greater when the child’s family me...

TODAY IS LABOUR DAY!
Labour Day in Singapore falls on the 1st of May and means a day off work for many employees. However, at ACRES, we need to be on hand 365 days a year, around the clock, to go to the aid of animals in need and to take care of those at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre (AWRC).
We couldn’t do this without our precious volunteers and supporters! Hats off to our volunteers who are willing to work with us to help the animals this Labour Day!

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – BIRDS ON SALE KEPT IN A FILTHY ENVIRONMENT
This month, the ACRES Animal Crime Investigation Unit (ACIU) investigated a report about a shop at Serangoon that was allegedly housing birds that were on sale in poor conditions. Our investigators found that the birds for sale were indeed being kept in unacceptable conditions; birds were being kept in filthy, rusty cages, with algae-filled water and food bowls.
Our officers gathered photographic evidence and forwarded the cas...
