MWT's 'Seal Appeal' raised £10,000

The Manx Wildlife Trust's 'Seal Appeal' has raised £10,000 for seal rehabilitation on the Island.

The appeal was launched before Christmas, to make sure seal pups and juveniles that need help can be looked after.

Thanks to donations, the Trust is now looking for a shipping container to house the seals during their initial recovery, and will then start building a pool.

An additional donation of £10,000 from Gough Ritchie will go towards training staff, vets and volunteers, with any leftover money going towards the building of the rehab centre.
