After the huge success of our Socatots Monkey March in partnership with Caudwell Children's Charity and raising lots of money for a little girl called Alicia who lives in Gosport, we have now booked for our next Monkey March on July 5th 2009 at Marwell Zoological Park.
All of us at Socatots are really proud to have been able to help Alicia and her family to finally get her much needed Hydro Bath which will help with her disability after her family along with Socatots Hants raised the funds from various charity events.
It is very humbling to know that the money raised from our Socatots Monkey March helps a child in our area and we are now looking to help another child in our area with our next march next year. Caudwell Children's Charity has helped thousands of youngsters who have disabilities and we are really excited to know that all monies raised go to these children who are less fortunate than ourselves and to make a big difference to their lives.
We met with the events manager at Marwell Zoological Park to discuss our next event and they were absolutely delighted we wanted to hold another event with them next year, this is a major achievement for Socatots Hants as we are the 1st company to be able to hold a charity event at the park and their feedback they had from their staff was very encouraging of us. They told us that they felt the day went extremely well, it was well organised and our staff were very professional in what they did around the park, we involved their staff and Socatot had great fun with their Monkey walking round leading the Marches throughout the day.
If you know of a local child in the Hampshire area who you think could benefit from our Socatots Monkey March please contact me either be telephone: 01489 896867 or via e-mail: We are also looking for a company to be our major sponsor for the days event in July 2009. This company will have exclusive coverage for all their help they give to our Monkey March with brand exposure on the day of the event. If you work in a company who may be interested in getting involved with our Socatots Monkey March please let me know again either by telephone or via e-mail.
If you would like further details on registering to take part in our Monkey March in July 2009 and how to get involved Monkeying around at Marwell with Socatot and all our parents and children please contact us.
We look forward to meeting you all at Marwell Zoological Park.
Best wishes
Barbara
‘Hey everyone we may be all under 5 but one day we may be able to lift this trophy up!’

Some people may think this is just a sweet picture of five little children all huddled round a trophy having their picture taken. You are all in fact wrong. This is a picture of five little SOCATOTS huddled around the Alan Ball’s Legend Cup all of whom are proud members of SOCATOTS run by Craig & Barbara Piper in Hampshire.
To make it even more unqiue there are two of Alan Ball’s own grandsons in this picture and if their granddad could see what they can do with a football at such a young age and how they keep it under control so well he would be so proud of them.
