Butler Evans are taking up this cause because during this terrible ordeal of COVID, small charities like the Cornish Seal Sanctuary are left complete outside in the cold with no means of earning incomes to continue their work.

Our story started when we booked to visit the Sanctuary at pupping time, when the charity takes in an average of 75 pups who have lost their mothers from injuries in fishing accidents, predation or accidents. Without the help of the sanctuary these pups would die an uncomfortable death alone without getting a chance at life. 

Because of the introduction of lockdowns, we had to tell the CSS we could not visit. They kept out ticket open for a year for us, but I asked how they were doing. The response was shocking, they were barely surviving, they had bought a supply for their café the previous week and were contemplating having to throw the wasted stock. On top of everything it is now pupping season when their costs rocket as seal pups are rescued for rehabilitation.

When I offered to pay them for the stock, the lady in their office was almost in tears, you could tell they were all distraught with the funding gap in their budget.

So we decided we could do more - No we decided we should do more. After all Govt is quite rightly focussing on people and supporting families throughout the country who cannot work. So we decided to raise awareness and get involved. We have started with a donation to sponsor a pup and we will support our customers who want to get involved by donating some of our turnover to the charity.

As an individual you can make a one off donation to this page or if you have a business contact us at Butler Evans, who provide Insurance & Risk Management,  to talk about supporting through your business insurance account.

Please, please, please help support the Cornish Seal Sanctuary to Put Pups First. The Cornish Seal Sanctuary rescues 75+ pups in need every year from around the coastline. Seal pups can find themselves in difficulty due to issues such as malnourishment due to separation from mum, wounds caused by marine litter or storms and disturbance from human activity, leaving them unable to fend for themselves in the wild. With decades of experience, the sanctuary's team of experts are able to give them the care they need, administering live saving medication or surgery and helping them to learn how to fend for themselves in the wild. Those who cannot be released due to ongoing medical issues are offered a permanent home at the specially designed site in Gweek. Due to Coronavirus the sanctuary has found themselves in difficulties this year. As pups cost, on average, £2000 to rehabilitate, the sanctuary needs your support more than ever. Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
