As with many charities, the COVID-19 pandemic has, and continues, to put a big financial strain on the vital lifeline IAPWA provide to thousands of animals every year. Right now, your support is needed more than ever.

Here at International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA) we rely heavily on the income of many fundraising activities that have been completely wiped out. We urgently need your support to help us feed, care for, and provide veterinary treatment to every sick, injured, abused and abandoned animal that needs our help. Our teams on the ground will never give up on them, but they desperately need a helping hand. Our work cannot stop. We cannot leave these animals to suffer.

We are hoping to raise £10,000 which will help to cover some of the funding losses we have endured as a result of the pandemic. We wish we could wave a magic wand to help every animal who needs us, but the reality is that we need to band together to make that happen.

So many of our four-legged patients have been rescued in a horrendous state, needing extensive care from our team to save their lives. If left on the streets in this condition, they simply would not be with us today. Your donation will help to provide vaccinations, food, neutering, veterinary treatment and general care and support for the many strays who rely on our work.

Will you help us? Anything you're able to spare would make a big difference to our team who are still working tirelessly to support the animals who depend on us. Thank you so much for caring - x
