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!

    We are normally very busy at the sanctuary, but when the weather turns cold, its non stop and there’s little time to rest. As well as all of the normal tasks like feeding, checking and cleaning  all of the animals, its a non stop battle to keep the animals with fresh unfrozen water. All of the rabbits…

    Bob and Brenda Rehomed

    Our volunteers have mixed feelings saying goodbye to Bob and Brenda, two geese that have been with us to seven years now. Geese make great guard dogs, they are territorial and if you’re a stranger, beware of the loud honks and ankle nipping! Generally people are more frightened of geese than they are of dogs….
