Bellway offers a helping hand to animal sanctuary in Swanley
Bellway has donated £500 to Second Chance Animal Rescue, an animal sanctuary based in Swanley.
The homebuilder, which is building new homes at Highlands Grange, off Highlands Hill in the town, made the donation to pay for a raft of items needed, including hay, straw, food for cats and various small animals, wild bird seed and animal toys. The donation also purchased dog food to feed the sanctuary’s exotic animals.
Second Chance Animal Rescue is based off Stones Cross Road in Crockenhill, Swanley, and was founded in 2011. The charity aims to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome ill-treated or abandoned animals, including cats, pigs, goats, ponies and poultry.
The sanctuary is made up by a team of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to find their animals a forever home, rehabilitate them back into the wild, or care for them at the sanctuary.
Linda Burns, Trustee and Volunteer for Second Chance Animal Rescue, said: “The donation from Bellway means a great deal to us at the rescue. It enables us to feed all our various animals with specific food for a month.
“We rely on donations like this to be able to rescue more animals to keep them safe and, in many cases, ready to go off to new homes. We’d like to thank everyone at Bellway for their very kind donation.”
James Pitt, Sales Manager for Bellway Thames Gateway, said: “Engaging with the local community is at the heart of what we do at Bellway, so we were only too happy to provide a donation to Second Chance Animal Rescue.
“The team invest so much time into finding the right home for every animal in their care and, if they don’t find one suitable, the animals have a permanent home at the sanctuary.
“It is great to know that the money we’ve donated has funded a month’s worth of food for the animals at the charity, and will help the volunteers continue the great work they do.”
Bellway Thames Gateway is building two, three and four-bedroom homes at Highlands Grange.
