Providing a safe haven for neglected, unwanted and abandoned animals.
The animal rescue charity was founded in 1990 by mother and daughter Jan Rose and Fiona Piggott after taking in strays from the local police dog pound. News travelled fast and soon waifs and strays where being left on their doorstep. Desperate funding and a more suitable home for these animals initiated the creation of the Charity, now affectionately known as “the small charity with a big heart” . Their aims and objectives are as follows:
To provide a safe haven (sanctuary) for neglected, unwanted and abandoned animals and wherever possible to treat and re-habilitate all animals including wildlife; sanctuary as we see it being a place of protection; a refuge.
Thank you for all you did for our community. You will be greatly missed.

I was privileged to know Keith. He was a wonderful councillor and true Christian.
He fought the good fight, finished the race and kept the faith.
By God's grace we will meet again

We knew Keith for many years. A remarkable man who, after his family, put the town first and foremost in every thing he did.
