Event Update!

Organised by: Acres
Venue: The Atrium @ Orchard, 60B Orchard Road map
Day/Time: Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 10pm daily

This National Day Festival that runs from now till 26th August, extend and enrich your celebratory mood with Acres and our fundraising activities while raising funds for the establishment of Singapore's first wildlife rescue, the Acres Wildlife Rescue Centre (AWRC)!

Acres will be having our public roadshow at the Atrium @ Orchard to engage Singaporeans in protecting animals and to take ownership of the AWRC and assist us in our efforts. This will strengthen our community spirit and increase our identity as a compassionate society.

Globally, the illegal trading in wildlife, timber and other natural resources is now surpassed only by the trafficking in drugs and weapons. This ongoing illegal trade has severe consequences for the survival of every species involved. Removing these animals from their natural habitat damages the fragile ecosystems as well as threatens the survival of the species.

This roadshow will raise awareness on the illegal wildlife trade in Singapore, bear farming and other animal protection issues. There will be exhibits on different animal welfare issues through informative educational panels and physical displays/replica models depicting the issues, for example toy animals crammed into crates showing how animals are smuggled for the illegal pet trade.

Fundraising activities:
Merchandise, including our hot-selling T-shirts ($15 each), mugs ($8 each) and colourful badges ($2 each) be sold. So spread compassion and wear a message!
What better way to celebrate our birthday by wear our national colours on your skin! For only $2, get your face or hands painted with cool designs and motifs!
Celebrate the occasion with our animals too! Purchase pictures of pets at $5, photo frame included, and enjoy $1 off when you present yourself in a red outfit!

So visit us at our booth and make a positive contribution to animal welfare and conservation in Singapore!
