Hide AdMr Griffith met the hard-working trustees Cheryl Tofield-Cook, Maggie Southwell and Gemma Page as well as the volunteers who care for a variety of animals at the sanctuary.
Andrew Griffith said: “Alexandra Bastedo’s legacy of rescuing and caring for animals continues thanks to a such a kind-hearted team of volunteers and trustees. The ABC animal sanctuary is a special place which relies solely on volunteers, fundraising events and donations from the public so please consider helping if you can."
ABC take in all kinds of animals such as cats, pigs, horses, donkeys, birds and goats that are seeking safe place to live. They aim to provide them all with the care they need and to find them a new forever home wherever possible.
The animals are sent to ABC for a variety of reasons; some have been ill-treated but, in many cases, they are the victims of a change of circumstance such as a relationship break up, death of an owner or lack of money.
