Sonia & Adrian's Wedding fundraiser for Ferne Animal Sanctuary

Sonia Bateman is raising money for Ferne Animal Sanctuary
Celebrating the wedding of Sonia and Adrian

on 6 June 2026

For the last 80 years Ferne has been providing care and refuge for unwanted and abandoned animals in the South West of England. Located in Somerset we are home to over 300 long-term residents, and rehome cats and dogs within a 40 mile radius.

Story

Instead of receiving gifts for our wedding, we would be incredibly grateful if you would support Ferne Animal Sanctuary, a charity that is very close to our hearts.

For over 80 years, Ferne has been rescuing and re-homing animals of all kinds who need care and a second chance.

Sonia volunteers at Ferne and sees first-hand the incredible work carried out by the dedicated staff, whose compassion and commitment to the animals in their care is truly inspiring. Two years ago we adopted Kinchi, Mabel and Florence which made the charity even more special to us.

With increasing economic pressures on pet owners, the demand for animal welfare services continues to grow. Ferne receives no government funding and relies on grants and donations to continue providing their vital support to animals.

If you would like to mark our wedding with a gift, we would be delighted if you chose to make a donation to this very worthy cause instead.
