Get Active for Animals

 

Helping animals provides an excellent way for you to boost your activity levels - and you don't even need to be hands - or paws - on.  You can help by activities such as:
  • Foster an animal short or long term (i.e. the animal comes to stay with you temporarily)

  • Do a sponsored event - it doesn't need to be a 26 mile marathon - it could be a walk around Battersea Park in London to help the Ethiopian wolf

  • Try a charity challenge - many animal charities offer these as a way to raise money.  Go outside your comfort zone and push yourself that bit further to make a difference to animals you care about.

  • Supporting an event, such as the Wag and Bone Show or visiting an animal charity or farm in your area or while you are on holiday

  • Helping and doing something in times of disaster, such as the pandas in China or animals in Burma after the cyclone

  • Helping those charities who are working to help animals and people stay together, such as the Cinnamon Trust which means that animals don't end up in rescue centres looking for new homes

  • Clicking on the pc or your mobile to spread the word!

"We all need your help...
so what's holding you back from helping us?"
 There are lots of things you can do to help animal charities in your area: 
  • mucking out
  • grooming
  • cleaning
  • washing
  • soothing and stroking 
  • gardening
  • ground work and maintenance
  • dog walking
  • fund-rasiing
  • campaigning
  • collecting money boxes on foot

Brain power, hands and fingers will come in handy for activities such as talking, writing, designing posters to publicise events and campaigning.  
 
Our sister site, Take Action 2 Help Animals, will be of interest if you want to get active and lend a paw. 
 
Click HERE for a list of animal charities on Take Action to Help Animals.  Most of them are the larger charities, so don't forget the many small ones.
 
Encourage children to get active with animals early on through activities such as story telling.  They will love to hear about Peter Rabbit and his adventures!

Please...
  • Always consult with your GP before starting any new form of exercise
  • Note that animals are unpredictable - and they may not always want to be seen or found.  We cannot guarantee how close you may or may not get to animals in specific programmes - common sense must prevail.
  • WASH YOUR HANDS after touching animals BEFORE eating or snacking.  (It could be a good idea to take some antiseptic wipes or handwash with you, just in case loo facilities don't provide soap.)  Do not let children put their fingers into their mouths or suck thumbs after touching animals - it's common sense!
  • The amount of contact you can have with animals varies from one place to another & one animal to another.  Common sense must prevail.   
  • Before you visit places, check that there are no current regulations/conditions which could mean that they are closed. Also check for opening hours. 
  • Take your rubbish home with you, at animals' requests
  • Note our disclaimer  - we cannot be held responsible for any injury, damage or otherwise to you or any third party as a result of your taking part in any activities on this site. 
  • Note that we do not sell products or provide voluntary opportunities.  Any product or service you may purchase is subject to the terms & conditions, disclaimers & policies of the companies selling them.    We are simply referring you on & raising your awareness that such opportunities exist
