New Stuff for Kids at Raystede!

Lucy Owen, Education Development Officer. This Spring saw the appointment of our new Education Development Officer, Lucy Owen. With years of experience of teaching animal welfare outside the classroom, Lucy is bursting with great ideas to involve youngsters with our work at Raystede - from curriculum-linked school visits, to fun-filled kids clubs over the school holidays.

Education visits will be based from ‘The Den’ – which was formally the small animal room behind the visitors centre. From The Den, groups will explore the 50 acre site with trails, games and activities based on the animals we care for. We will be outside for most of the day – weather permitting. However, if the weather isn’t as sunny as we would like, our fun outdoor classroom provides a perfect place to shelter from the elements.

For further information about the new Education Initiative or the Summer events for kids, follow the links to our education site.

If you are a school, youth group, brownies, guides, scouts etc and would like to talk to Lucy about arranging a visit, please contact education@raystede.org or call 07932 152687.

Summer Events.

Summer Events for Kids The Raystede Team are appearing at a number of events across the East Sussex this summer to raise awareness of the great work we do for animal welfare and to promote the launch of the new education programme.

Lucy, the new Education Development Officer will be providing some fun-filled activities for kids to make & do- from clay creatures to animal ear-hats and tails, there will be a chance for all ages to have a go at an animal-themed creation. The animal welfare team will also be on hand to answer any animal-related questions you may have – or just to say hello and tell you more about the diverse and fascinating work we do at Raystede.
