As many of you have seen, we shared some very difficult news about our Animal Centre last night. We are overwhelmed with the support we have received so far, and we want to thank you all for your kind messages, your generous donations, and for sharing our post to spread the word.

We have now launched our appeal, to help raise the funds we need to keep our doors open and to continue helping many animals in need in our local area. For many years, we’ve been a lifeline for dogs and cats who have suffered unimaginable abuse and neglect, providing them with veterinary treatment, dedicated care, rehabilitation, and loving new homes. But now, we are the ones in need of rescue.

Our financial situation is now critical, and without immediate support, we could be forced to close our doors, leaving countless abused and neglected animals without the care they desperately need. This is the biggest appeal we have ever done, and we are asking everyone, our loyal supporters, animal lovers, and the wider community, to come together and help us through this financial crisis.

We would be incredibly grateful for any donations towards our JustGiving appeal here: justgiving.com/campaign/save-our-animal-centre. No donation is ever too small, and every pound raised will go towards saving our Animal Centre. If you would like to set up a regular monthly donation, you can do so via our website, where you will also find information about fundraising for us: https://www.rspcaleedsandwakefield.org.uk/save-our-centre/

If you are not in a position to donate at this time, we would be very grateful if you could share this appeal with your friends, family, and colleagues using to help us spread the word.

Together, we can save our centre and continue giving animals the second chance they deserve. Thank you for your support 💙

I feel like we’re on The Secret Millionaire 🥹 We’ve secured up to £50,000 Christmas appeal match funding through Aviva. I can not believe it.

If you give via this link https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/zarachchristmasappeal2024 anything up to £250, they’ll match it pound for pound 🤯 my head can’t even do the bed maths on that amount. If you’re considering a Christmas donation this could double the impact of every penny you give. What an opportunity for us to make a dent in the number of children living in bed poverty this Christmas!

Your £150 = Our £300

That’s two bed bundles instead of one!!! Who knew Christmas miracles happen on Halloween eve 😂

Much love,
Bex
❤️💛💙

P.S if you’ve sent me a personal dm on the back of my last posts THANK YOU! I’ve booked out the next 2 hours to respond to each one 😊

I just had to shout about this insane match funding opportunity first.

This week a little boy said he’d seen me on the news and he thinks I might have got him and his sister, ‘the best beds in the world.’ I said, ‘That’s a very nice thing to hear you say.’
He said, ‘It was a very nice thing for you and Zarach to do’. 🥰

I’ve been qualified for 17 years. Data and personal experience shows that the number of children sat in classrooms who regularly do not have their basic needs met, is higher than ever. This is not okay. I will not stop talking about this.

Research shows the most accurate predictor of academic success is household income. If your household has an equivalent annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, you are classed by the DfE as ‘disadvantaged’. Lots of schools including mine work so hard to try and plug gaps in resources, vocabulary and cultural capital. I’m paid to relentlessly try and close the disadvantage gap ensuring every child who attends my school meets their full potential in the widest sense. In my spare time, I’ve been relentless in the pursuit of ending bed poverty. At first it felt like nobody believed it was an issue. Now we’ve delivered 10k beds, maybe those in power will begin to listen. I’m meeting a couple of Labour MPs on Friday. The message is simple. Our children deserve beds.

Our Christmas appeal last year saw over 500 children receive a bed. This year we’d love to double that. Our bed deliveries always bring joy but it definitely hits different at Christmas. This photo was sent to me by a mum we delivered to on Christmas Eve. She said we made her feel like a proper mum again 💔.

If you’d like to support us lifting 1000 children out of bed poverty in December please consider one of the following:

❤️Share this post. We’ve delivered 10,000 beds from what started as a handful of shares. Shares have led to so many of our biggest moments.

❤️❤️ Have a Zarach Christmas at work. Find out how your work selects who they support at Christmas.

❤️❤️❤️Buy a bed. Put lifting a child out of bed poverty on your Christmas list by either pledging £12.50 a month for a year, or making a one off donation of £150 ensuring we meet our 1000 bed quota by Christmas Day.

Double your gift.
We've secured £50,000 match funding for individual one off donations of up to £250 via the Crowd Funder platform

Much love,

I'm updating my prices as a result of the increased costs of equipment and utilities. As always I appreciate your understanding and continued custom.

Great news! New post paternity dates will be released tomorrow. Everything that is available will be released, and will continue as normal going forward. I appreciate they will be limited, so if you are unable to get one right away please be patient. Please do not message me for extra appointments. Thank you!

Thanks for all your lovely messages about our news 🥰

Please note I am now fully booked until after baby arrives. You can still sign up to the cancellation list on my website (these are rare but I will contact people if and when a space comes available)

If baby is running late, I will post on my stories on Instagram and Facebook each morning with spaces for that day. This will be from late June. You can turn on notifications for my stories if you want to try and get these early.

If baby arrives on time, I will be back mid august, but with less availability for a while. These appointments will be released in the next 4-6 weeks (once we’ve worked out what we hope our new normal looks like).

Thanks as always for your support 🥰

I have a couple of exciting announcements to make 🥁

First up, we are expecting our first (human) baby this summer and will be taking some time off between June and August. 👶

Some dates will be open during summer, but as nature won't allow me to schedule baby's arrival as accurately as I'd like, please book appointments from late June bearing in mind I may need some flexibility from clients.

Please also note that appointments will be unavailable for six weeks as I'm taking some time off to spend with my family. I'm expecting this to be July/early August but again, with some flexibility.

Appointments are currently open for June, so if you are likely to be due an appointment please check daily as these are automatically released most days.

Cancellations and squeezing people in is very rare as is, but please do not be offended if this becomes impossible given the pressures on my time.

In other, more current news, we have a new fur baby 🐶 who joined the Furology gang this weekend. He's currently too wee to say hi, but will be accepting cuddles and squeals of delight from anyone who asks in a couple of weeks. Welcome to the team, Rambo 🥰
