Win a Meerkat and Mates Moment

The meerkat is out of the bag! You could WIN a once-in-a-lifetime Meerkat & Mates Moment for you and three guests (aged 8+). Go behind the scenes at Edinburgh Zoo to meet the mischievous meerkats and many other amazing animals.

The first programme of its kind outside of Australia, meerkats from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo will reside at NHS Lothian’s Royal Hospital for Children and Young People (RHCYP) and be at the heart of an extensive learning and discovery experience.

Thanks to a partnership between Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity (ECHC), NHS Lothian and RZSS, the inquisitive creatures will give young patients, particularly those staying long term, the opportunity to learn all about nature and the environment.

To celebrate, we’re offering YOU the chance to win a Meerkat & Mates Moment for four people. You and three lucky guests could have the opportunity to get up close to these cheeky creatures, go inside their enclosure, feed them and learn all about their lives from our keepers.

Enter for just £5 and you could win this not-to-be-missed moment. While wonderful NHS colleagues provide world class medical treatment and care, your donation will provide education, fun and distraction by bringing the wonder of nature, wildlife and the environment to children in hospital through the very best teachers – the meerkats themselves!
