Welcome to the Kiwa Centre, World Parrot Trust’s UK conservation and welfare program. ‘Helping parrots to survive in the wild and thrive in companion care’ The World Parrot Trust (WPT) is a pioneer in global parrot conservation and welfare, running highly effective programs protecting wild parrots - currently 80 species across 45 countries. Our work has multiple approaches including ground-breaking field research and conservation and habitat protection. We also support the rescue, rehabilitation and release of parrots caught in illegal trade. Our mission is also enriching the lives of companion parrots through education and outreach with parrot owners. Ensure every companion parrot is receiving the best welfare and care. This is where the Kiwa Centre comes in! A story of a boy and his bird... In 2017, Kiwa and her parrot friends were trapped in heart-breaking conditions, suffering from neglect and improper care, due to overbreeding for the pet trade. With health issues such as overgrown beaks, deformities from cramped cages, and respiratory issues from poor air quality. They had no hope or opportunity to be parrots. That is, until people like you stepped in to help! When Joe Davenport discovered the dire state of his childhood pet, Kiwa, he knew he had to save her and hundreds of other parrots. Together with the World Parrot Trust, a massive rescue mission took place. The first glimpse of hope. These efforts created the Kiwa Centre, where Kiwa and her companions have been given a second chance at life, receiving care and rehabilitation. But their journey isn’t over – and this is where you come in. By supporting the Kiwa Centre, you become their hero. Help our magnificent macaws to thrive in a safe, enriched environment. These birds aren’t just survivors – they’re ambassadors, showing the world the importance of compassion and conservation. In 2020, we welcomed 40 Grey Parrots that were saved from the illegal wildlife trade. Taken from the wild and trafficked in horrific conditions. They are now at Kiwa Centre, before being repatriated back to Africa. We love our Greys but cannot wait to see them return to the wild! Join us in giving these parrots the life they deserve. It’s your generosity that ensures their rehabilitation continues. Get Involved Follow the World Parrot Trust on social media – share our message and get latest updates!

SMILE & BEe KIND is all about advocating little acts of kindness in our local communities and surroundings. Our main aim is to offer help in the form of food, toys, clothing and other products to help individuals and families struggling. We also take time and put measures in place to deliver food and products to families who cannot get to our location for one reason or the other by delivering to their doorsteps. As per our motto, little acts of kindness would go a long way to fight one of many hungers and also help build great communities.
