Paignton Zoo staff release charity Christmas single to raise funds for the zoo

Paignton Zoo has announced the release of a heart-warming charity Christmas single, “Christ-a-mas Day,” written and performed by Graham Card, a member of the zoo staff. Graham, a former paramedic, gained widespread recognition during lockdown for his YouTube channel for sharing positive and uplifting content.

Graham has used his talents in the jazz-pop genre to create this festive single, aiming to raise much-needed funds for Paignton Zoo. In collaboration with South Devon College, the zoo has produced a joyful music video featuring staff members and volunteers, all wearing Christmas jumpers and spreading holiday cheer around the zoo. The video is available to watch on the Wild Planet Trust YouTube channel.

Graham Card shared his thoughts on the project:

“This year has been tough for everyone at the zoo, so I wanted to bring some joy with a fun, cheesy Christmas song. Seeing my colleagues join in the music video and the generous donations from the public has been incredibly heart-warming.”

Paignton Zoo invites everyone to join in the festive fun and support the zoo by watching the music video and donating to their JustGiving page. Contributions will help Paignton Zoo continue its vital work in wildlife conservation and education.
