CHESTER Zoo has launched a new membership, designed especially for foster carers.

The new annual membership, priced £35, will display a photo of the foster carer, meaning they can access the zoo with any foster child under their care.

Chester memberships and adoptions manager Karolyn Toner said: “We wanted to create a membership that would be both beneficial and cost effective for foster carers.”

Foster carers must provide a foster carer identification card or letter from a supervising social worker confirming their role.

To purchase, visit the membership cabin at the main entrance or call 01244 650208.
