The Help4Wales Foundation is a non-profit, community interest company that has been set up to support those affected by domestic violence.

In 2017 over 1.1million cases of domestic violence were reported in the UK, with 89% of these involving some kind of harm or trauma to the family pet. Family pets are often used to control and manipulate victims, trapping them in a world of abuse.

Animal Safe Haven is a service desperately needed in Wales. They support victims of domestic abuse by temporarily caring for their pets while they access a refuge and begin to rebuild their lives. Each animal is referred to their Animal Safe Haven where they receive a full health check, vet treatment if required, and a fosterer to provide a temporary loving home.

The service provided by Help4Wales is such a lifeline for many victims of domestic abuse, please donate anything you can to help them continue their amazing work.
