Little Foxes Wildlife Sanctuary has benefited from a standard free entry in Yellow Pages for some years, listed under animal welfare societies.
We need people to be able to find us easily so that they can bring wildlife casualties to us – that is in the interests of helping as many animals as we can.
Last week I received a call from Yellow Pages telling me that if we wished to continue to have a free entry, we would be listed in an alphabetical section right at the back of the book.
That would mean anybody looking for a wildlife rescue would not find our listing, unless they already knew our name and thought to look at the very back section of the book.
To continue having the same entry as before, the charity would have to pay £102 (including VAT).
This seems extortionate and extremely unfair to charities, particularly small charities who count every penny.
To go from zero to £102 is some leap. Surely such things need greater regulation.
