Alternative Animal Sanctuary

The Alternative Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit making organisation, which cares for abandoned and unwanted animals. Although they are not a registered charity they do need sponsorship to help with the upkeep of the many residents. All money raised goes straight to the upkeep of the animals. No animals are put down, other than for humanitarian reasons, and they stayat the sanctuary for life.
If you wish to help you can sponsor an animal or use shopping links where a percentage of the money spent will go straight to the sanctuary.

Fluffsfield Donkey Sanctuary

Fluffsfield is based in Fyvie, Scotland and is home to around 100 rescued donkeys, plus a few ponies and mules.
Many of the donkeys arrive at the sanctuary in a very poor state of health, so one of the largest expenses, apart from feed, is Veterinarian bills.
There are lots of ways that you can help to look after the donkeys and help the work of the sanctuary so please visit the Fluffsfield website to find out more, or you can visit the sanctuary between 10am - 4pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 1st April to 30th September inclusive.

Greyhound Action ...

... is working hard to end the horrific abuse of Greyhounds used in the racing industry, not only in the UK and Ireland but around the world. GA is not a rich charity, it is simply a collection of individuals who care about greyhounds and have come together in order to work to end their suffering and exploitation. In the relatively short time GA has existed as a grassroots organisation based on people power, and have been extraordinarily successful, winning several campaigns against new tracks, forming local groups, persuading firms not to take outings to dogtracks, researching the industry and producing free leaflets, posters and stickers. All the time spreading information and challenging the false image that greyhound racing is a caring industry that is just a bit of fun.

Join their campaign now.
