We want to buy a classroom/chill out room so disadvantaged children can learn in a safe environment about animals and their welfare.

About this cause

We take in unwanted, neglected & abused animals, mainly horses but also have goats, donkeys, cats, rabbits, chicken and a duck with a limp! As well as re-homing we invite under privileged children and adults with learning difficulties to come and work with them. We took on Kentrigg Farm knowing it needed work, we have found more work but we desperately want to invite people here to enjoy the friendship a rescue animal can offer. We are managing to generate an income to feed the animals & pay the rent but without a cash injection we can't move forward. We need a safe building - we thought we had one but the floor is rotten and the decking around it is unsafe, we need £7000 to make a safe environment for people who may need a little extra care. Animal friendships mean so much.

How this cause brings people in the community together

It will open our gates to so many people, we will have a safe place to educate about animal welfare. If someone is feeling a little low there will be a dedicated area for reflection. At the moment we have nowhere for anyone to get warm or eat a sandwich, we just can't invite anyone to enjoy the animals. We will also hopefully open a little tuck shop which will be run by volunteers this will build confidence and hopefully encourage people to apply for jobs knowing we can provide a reference.
