We started small in 2002 taking in animals at our Farplace home in beautiful Weardale.

We registered as a charity in 2008 as a charity and, since them, we have grown over the years, so we now have an animal care team of 7 dedicated staff, extensive vet costs, land purchase of woodland and fields that are used for both wildlife habitat creation and horse rescue.  We have several stables and a wildlife experience zone for the public footpath that crosses our land, with bird hide and a range of different habitats.

We have a great management team and our events and shops programmes are growing rapidly, to hasten the day we can open more rescue centres.

We also run a support organisation for other no kill rescues called NASA  – The National Animal Sanctuary Alliance – and give grants to help other rescues in need at home and abroad.

We hope you will join us in this journey.
