A BRAND NEW NPO IN THE VI FOR 2020
The British Virgin Islands Equine Educational Rehabilitation Sanctuary (BEERS) offers rescue, care and rehabilitation facilities for all equines at risk within the BVI. Alongside this process we will assist Countryside Adventures at Diamond Estate Farm and Country Centre in providing educational opportunities for all residents and visitors to the Territory, striving to teach and develop quality care and livestock management practices particularly for the young people of the Virgin Islands.
Our NPO vision states that 'BEERS' will work to provide a long term safe haven for horses, ponies and donkeys suffering from abuse and neglect, as well as a conduit for retiring thoroughbreds able to travel to racing aftercare homes in the USA. This whilst inspiring the local community to help in retraining and providing purpose to the remainder of our equine's lives.
In registering as a Government of the Virgin Islands non-profit organisation and complying with guidelines set down by the Financial Investigation Agency, the 'BEERS' board members hope that they can provide, a transparent and separate fundraising mechanism to raise and receive funds in a manner not possible by a private business or individual.
We are delighted to announce that we now welcome offers of financial assistance from personal, corporate, governmental or other non profit organisation's funds.
Please watch this space for more details, activities and developing urgent concerns for the VI's horses during this stressful time in the World around us.
