For the person who has everything except a rescued bear with a pool. Pick a tag, add their name, and they get a certificate showing precisely what their birthday made happen.
What is a charity birthday gift?
A charity birthday gift is a donation made in someone’s name that funds something real — like feeding a rescue dog for a week (£10) or giving a rescued bear a spa day (£25). The birthday person receives a personalised e-certificate describing exactly what their gift did.

Common questions
How quickly does the birthday e-certificate arrive?
Immediately after donating — by email, ready to forward or print. Ideal for last-minute birthdays: the certificate names the recipient and describes the exact care their gift funds.
Can I choose which animal the birthday gift helps?
Yes — every gift is tied to a specific animal and a specific piece of care, from a £5 hoglet feed to an £80 month in a big cat sanctuary. You pick; the certificate says exactly what you chose.
