MyAPES Portal Update: Platform Changes, Live Stream Pause & New Fundraising Appeal

20 Feb 2026 04:25 PM - Comment(s) - By Association of Proecting Exotic Species CIC

MyAPES is entering an important development phase. As we relocate to new premises, we’ve introduced several platform updates to improve access, communication, and long-term sustainability. Here’s what’s changing, and how you can support the next chapter.

πŸ”„ A Structured Update to the MyAPES Portal

As part of our relocation and infrastructure upgrade, we are implementing important changes designed to strengthen long-term service delivery and improve user experience.


These updates are proactive and strategic. Rather than maintaining services in a transitional state, we are refining and rebuilding properly β€” ensuring stronger stability, clearer access, and improved future functionality.

πŸŽ₯ Live Streams Temporarily Suspended During Relocation

Live streaming has been paused for the moment.

Relocating operations involves:

  • Dismantling and reinstalling technical infrastructure

  • Transitioning internet and broadcast equipment

  • Moving into new operational spaces

  • Prioritising safe and organised relocation processes

Without a stable studio environment, secure connectivity, and dedicated broadcasting space, live streaming would risk reduced quality and inconsistent delivery.

We are committed to maintaining professional standards and safeguarding expectations. For that reason, live streams will resume once we are fully operational in our new premises β€” with improved facilities and enhanced technical capability.

We appreciate your patience as we prioritise stability and quality. πŸ™

🧭 Improved Website Navigation – Updated Top Menu

We’ve updated the top of our website to provide better menu access and clearer navigation.


This improvement makes it easier to:

  • Access key sections quickly

  • Find fundraising and support options

  • Locate community updates

  • Navigate membership and account areas

Improved accessibility is part of our commitment to making MyAPES more user-friendly and community-focused.

πŸ’› New Fundraising Appeal Added – Support the Move

Our latest appeal has now been added to the Fundraising section.


Relocating to new premises is a major step in strengthening our long-term infrastructure. Moving costs, installation, setup, compliance preparation, and equipment transition all require structured financial support.


Your donation helps:

  • Secure stable long-term operational space

  • Install improved digital and streaming infrastructure

  • Strengthen service reliability

  • Support responsible and sustainable growth

This is an investment in stability and improved service delivery, not a temporary measure.

More information about the new unified membership model will be released soon.


Existing members will be supported through the transition, and further guidance will follow shortly.



πŸ“ˆ What This Means for Our Community

These changes reflect structured growth and responsible platform development.
