Suppawt small. Believe big!

Abandoned and relinquished cats, dogs, and horses around the country rely on the phenomenal work of volunteers and charities to give them the care and love they need while they wait for their forever homes. 

At Animal Friends, we know that this year has been challenging for many of us, including these small but dedicated charities - which is why we’ll be sharing £50,000 to support struggling pet charities across the UK.

We were absolutely blown away by the number of heartfelt nominations we received, it was wonderful to read them all, but it also highlights how much our local community charities need our support. Come back soon for a list of the charities who will be receiving a share of £50,000.

If you are able to give, please think of your local pet charity this Christmas. 

CONGRATULATIONS to all selected charities!

Your overwhelming response, with hundreds of heartfelt nominations, highlighted the urgent need for more suppawt. So, we doubled the donation! Thanks to all your nominations, you've now made it possible for the following 100 deserving charities to get the vital funding they need to keep caring for our most vulnerable pets waiting for a home...
