Animal Friends Charity Review 2020

Paws for Thought this Christmas

After everything that happened in 2020, we wanted to do something special for Christmas to support some of the UK’s unsung animal charities. In December, we asked our customers, followers and the general public to help us make ameaningful difference to some incredible charity and community groups who continued towork throughout lockdown restrictions to ensure vulnerable animals remained cared for and protected. Looking after animals large and small, exotic and domestic, covering land, air and water, wild and tame, our 12 carefully selected local and national welfare organisations were given the chance to win a share £78,000 so they could ensure all the animals taken into their care continued to receive sufficient warmth and comfort to keep out the cold, and enough food to go round the stable. Looking after everything from domestic pets to exotic sea creatures, we asked our customers, followers and the general public to help make a difference and vote for the charity they felt was most deserving of the top prize. We were blown away by the incredible response Paws for Thought received and by the time voting closed on 12th December, we’d received over 10,500 votes!
