This is an URGENT plea for help. We need YOU to help us keep the sanctuary open and the animals safe.

I am Hayley Hubbard - the founder and owner of Lotus Lamb and Animal Sanctuary. The sanctuary is a very special place to our animals and volunteers alike and we desperately need you to help us get through the depths of winter. The pressure of the hot Summer, lack of grazing, the extremely high cost of hay, and unexpected vet bills means the task of keeping the sanctuary open is becoming increasingly difficult.

We are so humbled by your support so far - reaching our initial £15,000 milestone means we have been able to buy 2 new shelters for the animals and we now have enough hay to see us through the worst of the winter - please check out our socials to see photos and videos of exactly how your generosity is already making a HUGE difference.

However, we STILL need some urgent help to keep our sanctuary going. After the long dry Spring and Summer, the rains have now come and turned large areas of the ground to mud - we desperately need more mud control mats to create safe areas for the animals, including inside and at the entrances to our new shelters. We've increased our fundraising target to help us purchase more of these mats - which cost a whopping £34 per square metre plus delivery.

Please support us in any way you can. No donation is too small, and if you can't donate then sharing this appeal helps us reach so many more people.

No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations made to our GoFundMe.

Thank you for helping us keep helping them.
