Ashbourne Animal Welfare, was established in 1988 and is dedicated to the rescue and re-homing of stray and unwanted cats and dogs. They provide TLC as well as whatever veterinary care is needed before re-homing and always
neuter, helping reduce the numbers of unwanted puppies and kittens.
Since they started, the charity has helped almost 10,000 cats and dogs.
The charity operates from The Ark, a purpose built rescue centre near
Ashbourne and many animals come into our care in very poor condition,
requiring expensive veterinary attention. Added to the many other costs
involved in running a caring charity, this means that they need to raise
over £750 every single day! As an independent charity, we are entirely
dependent on their own efforts and on the generosity of the public.
We have hosted events in the past to support the charity and their great work and are pleased to launch another charity event on Sunday 26 June across both of our studios including a raffle, cakes sale and a range of fun classes with all donations going to the charity.
