Summer Open Day Raises over £5,000!

ByJon

This year was our busiest event yet! With over 1,000 people attending we certainly had a lot of fun raising a grand total of £5,500!

A massive thank you to all those that came down and supported us on Sunday. We were absolutely delighted to see so many people making the journey down to see the animals, stalls and of course the cake!

Events like these help to raise vital funds for the rescue. It costs, on average, £1,000 a week to run the centre! A combination of bedding, feed, veterinary, transport and maintenance fees all adds up and every penny we raise is spend directly on the animals. It is only by your support do we exist and so we cannot thank you enough for all the help!

    Rescued Piglet

    ByJon

    This newly born piglet was found abandoned and defenceless; she would not have survived more than a few more hours without her mother. The people who found her contacted a nearby farm where she no doubt came from, they were told to “throw it in the ditch”, luckily they cared, they kept her warm and brought…

Both were…

  • Pigeons

    Another pigeon squab arrives to be hand reared. This squab needed rescuing, he was on the floor having fallen out of the nest. Far too often fledglings are picked up which should not be disturbed. Pigeons make great parents, but they aren’t very clever at making secure nests, they often resemble a pile of twigs…
