Christmas should be a time full of joy and hope but instead many are living in fear and anxiety. With the soaring cost of living, increasing numbers of people are struggling to pay for everyday essentials, when they should be celebrating this special time with their loved ones.
At Humanimal Trust we believe in collaboration to help humans and animals now, and in the future.
So this Christmas, we have teamed up with Blue Cross and the Natural Pet Centre to bring some festive cheer to households struggling with the cost of living crisis.
For every donation of £5 or more to our #StrongerTogetherAtChristmas appeal, our friendsat the Natural Pet Centre will donate a companion animal treat pack, containing species-specific food products and fun accessories.
These packs will then be distributed to those who need them via Blue Cross Pet Food Banks across the UK.
Our CEO, Joe Bailey, said: “Times are particularly tough for us all at the moment - regardless of the species - so we wanted to do something different this year with our Christmas appeal to recognise people’s generosity and help those companion animals in greatest need."
“Working with Blue Cross and the Natural Pet Centre really echoes what we and One Medicine are all about – bringing people together and driving collaboration for the mutual benefit of humans and animals. We are so grateful to them both for supporting our #StrongerTogetherAtChristmas appeal and for helping us bring a little joy and happiness to some of our animal friends over the festive season.”
Steve Leek, Co-Director of the Natural Pet Centre, said: “We have long been advocates for One Medicine and are huge supporters of Humanimal Trust, so we’re really excited to be part of this campaign.”
Jayne Mernock, fellow Co-Director, said: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Natures Menu, Carnilove and Trixie in particular, who are also donating supplies to go into the treat packs to help those who might be struggling to give a special treat to their animals this Christmas.”
