The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileThe COVID-19 crisis has impacted all areas of our organisation. Its not only taken away some of our most secure sources of income but has also meant additional costs for the sanctuary too.
When lockdown was announced, one of the biggest blows was having to cancel events including our Open Days and our highly anticipated Goodheart Gala. These events are a major source of income for our small sanctuary, so this was particularly devastating for us. On top of that, and completely understandably, we have seen a drop in regular donations, as many people cut costs for fear of losing their jobs. We do not, nor have we ever, qualified for any government funding and, as our animal care team are essential workers, we were not able to furlough anyone.
The work carried out by Goodheart Animal sanctuaries is only possible with the support of incredible individual donors. By supporting us you are allowing us to continue rescuing animals in need and caring for them during this incredibly difficult time.
