02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our charity is an animal rescue who offers safe space to animals in need, who are unwanted, neglected, abused and discarded. Some have sad stories and others have lost their owner and can no longer remain where they are. We help any animal both domestic and farm. We provide these animals with a safe place to live while we carry out all their vet needs, sometimes we have to rehabilitate them and gain their trust. We work hard with every animal who comes into us and when they are ready to be adopted we find them their forever home. We are a volunteer run rescue with no paid staff and we raise all the funds needed to run our rescue by holding fundraisers and we have a very active online fundraising team.
