Unwanted Christmas Gifts Could Help Transform the Lives of Neglected Animals

INGATESTONE, U.K. - Jan. 10, 2025 - PRLog -- Remus Horse Sanctuary, located in the heart of Essex, is calling on the public to donate unwanted Christmas gifts this January to support its ongoing mission to rescue and rehabilitate horses, ponies, and other animals in need. With a simple donation of unwanted items, supporters can help make a real difference at the Sanctuary, which has been providing care for more than 40 years.

Every year, millions of pounds' worth of unwanted gifts go unused or are discarded across the UK. By donating these items to Remus Horse Sanctuary, supporters can help raise vital funds to feed and care for animals who have suffered neglect, abuse, or abandonment. The Sanctuary, which relies entirely on public generosity, turns these donations into much-needed resources through sales, raffles, and events.

The Sanctuary also welcomes practical gifts like towels, blankets, and cleaning supplies, which directly benefit the animals' care. Remus is home to more than 100 rescued animals, many requiring ongoing medical treatment and specialised diets. The rising cost of living has made public support more critical than ever, ensuring the Sanctuary can continue its essential work.

Sue Burton, Founder of Remus Horse Sanctuary, said: "By donating your unwanted Christmas gifts, you're not just clearing out your cupboards – you're giving hope and a second chance to animals like Holly (https://www.remussanctuary.org/what-we-do/animals-we-have...) who have endured unimaginable suffering. Every contribution, no matter how small, has the power to change lives."

Unwanted gifts and donations can be dropped off at the Sanctuary any day between 10am and 4pm until the end of January.
