This is the page where we acknowledge and thank supporters who have raised funds to help the animals at The Sanctuary.

If you have held a special event or had a sponsored activity and would like to be included in this page, please with the details, any photographs and the amount you have raised if you would like to be included on this page.

We would like to thank a group of adventurous young girls from Amble who did a sponsored walk in their pyjamas to raise money for our animals.

Standing from the left we have Ellie Brown, Eva Davis and Carly Jones and sitting from left to right we have Molly Mooney and Ashleigh Hogarth, who all walked from Amble to Warkworth and back to raise money for us.

Their walk started in Amble Town Square, up the High Street and along the river to Warkworth.  They then walked around the castle and Warkworth village and back along the river bank ending up where they started in Town Square and they did all this wearing their pyjamas and carrying their teddy bears!! 

Well done girls!!

The walk took them 2 hours and they raised the magnificent sum of £165 for us.  The owners, staff and animals at The Sanctuary would like to thank them very much for this wonderful gesture.

We would like to thank the villagers of Felton who have twice held a coffee morning to raise funds for us.

The first was held in October 2007, to help us to raise money to build an over-wintering pen for the 2 red squirrels which were brought to us in July, in order that they could be cared for over the winter period and given a soft release in the spring.

This was a real "money making" drive and the magnificent sum of £280 was raised by tea and coffee drinking, a raffle, a bring and buy stall, a home baking stall and donations from people who for one reason or another could not attend.   This was a huge help in the very expensive costs of wood and mesh to build their pen.

In February 2008 (at very short notice!) they held a 'normal' coffee morning - a much quieter but still very enjoyable affair and raised the excellent sum of £80.

Tea and coffee drinkers of Felton - we thank you and so do the animals who benefit from your kindness!!!

On the 25th November, 2006 15 member of the Longhorsley Brownies held a sponsored "work day" at the Sanctuary raising the magnificent sum of £225.    They arrived full of enthusiasm and were split into 2 groups.   Firstly they learned about feeding and cleaning out the foxes and the badgers, followed by a welcome cup of hot chocolate and a large cookie.

Then it was down to the stables to meet the goats, learn about mucking out (always an enjoyable prospect) and grooming the ponies and donkeys.

Then, after lunch as a reward they had a 'craft session' followed by a special presentation of a 'certificate' for all their hard work.

On Whit Monday, 2006 we were visited by (from left to right) Jessica (8yrs), Marion (8yrs) and Charlotte (5yrs), who are seen here with our 3 tortoises.   

Along with some of their friends they held a sponsored run and raised the sum of £24.48. which they brought to The Sanctuary and handed over for the animals.

Well done!

Also on Whit Monday, we were visited by Charlotte and Chelsea, seen here with 'Star' the Barn Owl. 

 Charlotte and Chelsea raised the magnificent sum of just over £107.00. by holding a Tombola Stall at Amble Market the previous Sunday.

What an excellent achievement!
