Joseph Griffin is the founder of North-East Reptile Rescue. He founded it and funded it himself as a non-profit organisation in 2007 as an extension of his own reptile keeping hobby.
Joe has expertise in a wide variety of reptile species and provides the headquarters and primary reptile care centre for NERR
As demand for NERR's services has increased over the years, the time has come to put the rescue on a more professional footing with an aim to achieving registered charity status in the future. To this end Joe has recruited other trustees to take the organisation forward.
Alec Wood joined the staff in 2012 having adopted a number of animals from NERR in 2011. Alec has expertise in spiders and in snake species primarily. He provides a small reptile holding facility and invertebrate care centre, and his partner Vicky, also a volunteer at NERR, is skilled in socialising animals, overcoming excessively defensive behaviours etc
vacancyYou? Currently we require a third trustee to take NERR forward. We need someone well-organised who can dedicate three or four hours once each month to administration, accounts etc. Your level of involvement with the animals is up to you.
