Some positive steps in a challenging year ...
When 2020 begunwe had no way of knowing
As part of our partnership with the Thin Blue Paw Foundation, we are now actively involved in promoting the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill; a legislation that will
how important our contribution to the improvement of animal welfare would be. The need to provide support to vulnerable, mistreated, injured and endangered animals has always been of the upmost importance to Animal Friends - it was the principle on which we were founded over 20 years ago - but the devastating effect of the COVID-19 pandemic across the world has made the support we give even more critical. This year, we have focussed our time, expertise and financial support on helping over 165 charities at home and abroad as they have struggled in the wake of coronavirus and the detrimental impact this has played on their ability to fundraise. We’ve given back over £1million this year, supporting a variety of animal charity needs from funding food and vital repairs through to conservation of endangered species. We’ve assisted campaigns to rehome pets that had been overlooked for years, assisted with establishing a new national charity that provides funding for retired police dogs to cover their vet costs, and supported large and small organisations across the world to build awareness of their important work through our digital platforms.
help serve justice to those that seriously injure animals and, hopefully, deter others from committing some of these atrocities in the future. A campaign that you will see Animal Friends push even further in 2021. In total, we’ve now donated over £5.6million to animal welfare and conservation charities around the world, helping to protect some of the most vulnerable animals, from domestic pets to exotic sea creatures and almost everything in between. As you can see, animal welfare really is at the heart of everythingwe do at Animal Friends Insurance.
