Storm damage fundraiser 😪
Today we've launched a fundraiser to try to help us recover from #StormDarragh.
We have to urgently raise enough funds to repair the piggy barn so the piglets bed can be weatherproof again. We've temporarily covered the holes in the roof with a tarp. But it's such a large area and the tarp is so big it's not going to cope well when it's windy and heavy rain.
There is also extensive damage to fencing around the Sanctuary and some of the other shelters.
Just safely clearing the fallen tree's is a huge and expensive job before the repairs to everything can even start.
Massive thank you to those of you who have already kindly donated. Those funds have helped us cover the costs of removing the tree from the barn roof and clearing the access track. Thank you so much 🙏
We'll need to raise around £8000 to cover all of the repairs on the barn and around the Sanctuary.
Any help towards this would be hugely appreciated

Piggy Barn damage 😭
This video is from yesterday afternoon and is where the tree has hit the piglet end of the barn.
The tree is still there and still on top of power lines. But at the moment the lines are dead.
There are trees down throughout the whole area. So I'm trying to find someone that can help and we are also waiting for Western Power, who of course are inundated with multiple lines down throughout the region.
We have a few issues around Fern, Reggie, Annie and Tansys area. There is a lot of damage to the whole of the fencing in Annie's and Tansy's field so they are shut in until the trees can be removed from fencing and fencing repaired, though it looks quite extensive 😔
Similarly in Spottie, Pumpkin, Rainbow and Rodney's field. Though not so much damage to the fencing as Annie's side. So they are also all shut in until their field can also be secured.
Any help towards repairs would of course be gratefully received 🙏

We are short staffed at the moment which doesn't help when things are extra difficult.
We are looking for animal care assistants/supervisor. Please email at [email protected] if you are interested.
We have no power throughout the Sanctuary so I'm juggling phone battery usage.
Thank you for everyone's good wishes and donations. Very much appreciated ❤️ x
