Closer to home We love being able to help amazing charities and conservation projects around the world, but we’ll never forget where it all started over 20 years ago. Here are some of the many causes we’ve been proud to support in and around Amesbury, Wiltshire.
Cats WatchWilts 2021 donation: £9,750
HawkConservancy Trust 2021 donation: £23,500 Hawk Conservancy Trust works in the fields of conservation, education, research and rehabilitation of birds of prey at home and abroad. As part of ourWorld Animal Day celebration, we picked charities from across all seven continents and donated £10,000 to each one to thank them for their fantastic work. Our giving helped Hawk Conservancy Trust’s Poison Response Action Campaign as they work to reduce the poisoning of vultures in Africa. With charities still suffering from the various restrictions and different lockdowns, donations like this are vital to allow the charity to continue their important work protecting birds of prey. Other local charitieswe helped in 2021: Wilton Riding for the Disabled: £500 Wiltshire Wildlife Trust: £250
Founded in 2019, CatsWatchWilts has, to date, rescued and re-homed or reunited over 1000 cats and kittens in the local area. Our most recent donation of £1,000was made in memory of a cat called Thomas who had been found cold and disorientated on the side of a road by an Animal Friends colleague. While Thomas had tobe put to sleep,wewere so thankful that there are charities likeCatsWatch Wiltsmaking sure cats like Thomas are cared for evenduring their lastmoments onearth. Voice of the company
“My experience with Cats Watch has been really positive. Our cat Odin, who was a stray at the time who we were
feeding and aiming to get to the vets, suddenly stopped coming back so we were naturally really worried about him. Wemanaged to track himdown at Cats Watch, after speaking withMarnie and explaining that we were looking to adopt him she took us through the adoption process and brought himback to us.” Craig Morris Animal Friends RiskManagement Partner
