Our locations >Merlin'sMagic Wand
Our children's charity, Merlin’s Magic Wand (MMW), supports children facing challenges of serious illness, disability or adversity around the world through three key initiatives.
Magical days out
Every year, we welcome thousands of children facing challenges of serious illness, disability or adversity and their families to our attractions for free.
Magic on Tour
Some children are too poorly to come and visit us – so our colleagues go out into the community and take the magic to them.
Magic Spaces projects
We support children who are facing tough times by transforming playrooms, sensory rooms, hospital waiting rooms and other spaces into magical, Merlin-inspired environments.
SEA LIFETrust
Our vision is a world where our seas are healthy, properly protected, and full of diverse life. As a charity, we work globally to protect the world’s oceans and amazing marine life.
Our Sanctuaries
The SEA LIFE Trust charity owns and operates marine animal sanctuaries.
Our Cornish Seal Sanctuary is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of seal pups in need of help. Thanks to the expert care they receive, when the seals are ready they can be released back to their home in the ocean.
We are excited to announce that we are building the SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary. A world first initiative, the Sanctuary will provide a home for two beluga whales, Little White and Little Grey.
Our wider work
We work across the world to support practical local projects to protect marine wildlife and their habitats, alongside working on conservation campaigns to effect long-lasting change on a global scale.
Being a Forcefor good
A key part of The Merlin Way is that we care – about our people, our visitors, the creatures in our care and the communities where we work. There are four key areas where we try to give a little back.
Merlin’s Magic Wand
We put the magic back into the lives of seriously ill, disabled and disadvantaged children.
SEA LIFE Trust Marine & Wildlife Conservation
We protect wildlife around the world through rescue, breeding, conservation and education.
