The Sabine project is underway, and progressing well but we still need your help.
Here’s one of the many HQ rehoming residents, staying hydrated whilst enjoying some outdoor time.

The work we do wouldn't be possible without your donations, as many of the tortoises we take in throughout the year need extra care and rehabilitation. Just £5 can help towards funding our new rehabilitation unit.
Thank you to all those who have already kindly donated

Could you help volunteer this week? Happy Easter to everyone from everyone at NTC. As well as preparing to host our own evening spring event on Friday 9th May at Hethersett. We also hope to have an education display at this Thursdays Swallow Aquatics children day. If members have time to help out with the kids activities and chatting to visitors about rehoming between 10-4 please get in touch :)

Easter Funday! 🐥 Keep your eyes peeled for updates 👀

Here are some tortoises that came in to HQ for rehoming with shell damage and wounds. Cases like these need special care and can be expensive to treat.
The Sabine Bohmer rehabilitation unit will help us support these special cases and keep them separate from other tortoises whilst they are receiving treatment.

This week, three of the NTC volunteers have gone on holiday to the South of France with the purpose of visiting Le Village des Tortues Carnoules/TORTUPÔLE France and Village des Tortues Soptom

We had an amazing time today, learnt lots and would like to thank everyone at Turtle Village, Stéphane Gagno and Bernard Devaux for having us today. I know Anne Liddiard will be back this year to complete her certificate of competence in tortoise care (a mandatory course in France if you keep more than 8 tortoises) and we all look forward to seeing you guys again.

The volunteers had a great weekend at the conference, listening to some interesting reptile presentations and talking to people on our shop stand. Look forward to more events this year!

Whilst we still have a way to go and equipment to buy, here is some of the work being completed behind the scenes for The Sabine Bohmer Project.

We would like to thank The Chapman Trust for the grant to construct the rehabilitation building.

Any donations towards this project are much appreciated, as mentioned in the link we still have fund UV lights, heat lamps, enclosures, medical supplies, hot water systems, etc.

What a amazing start, thank you to everyone that has donated so far.

We have many tortoises come into the centre with a variety of conditions that require special care and sometimes vet visits. They often need to be kept away from over tortoises for biosecurity, so a new purpose built building with supplies, where they can be treated and recover has been needed for a while. Even a £1 can help toward paying for syringes to give medicine or gloves for handling.

This project is for new facilities to help treat and rehabilitate rescue tortoises in memory of Sabine Böhmer.
