Lilly's Reptile Rescue CIC rescues, rehomes and cares for unwanted reptiles from its centre on Victoria Road, Scarborough. Described by The Scarborough News as the town's first ever reptile rescue centre, it opened its premises in January 2024 and became a community interest company in 2025.
Bookings that run themselves
The centre's income comes from handling experiences, so booking had to be simple. Visitors pick a date from the calendar and request a session, and the request is confirmed by email. The team is told about every new booking instantly, so nobody has to watch an inbox.
Telling every animal's story
- A residents page with a profile for each animal, filterable by type
- A surrender page that explains how to hand over a reptile safely
- News updates from events, talks and community days
- A support page for donations, bank transfer and monthly memberships
The design is warm and photo-led, with the animals front and centre, and it is fast and easy to use on a phone, which is where most visitors find it.
