Thank you on behalf of all the abandoned, neglected and abused animals that you have helped. If you are interested in getting involved, there are many ways to help:

Volunteering
We desperately need new volunteers. Hope Association volunteers help at our  Hope Charity Shop and Hope Book Fayres and collect books and bric-a-brac. They also bake cakes (email: ) and grow plants for our fayres and shops. They also get involved in other fund-raising activities such as open gardens, coffee mornings and quiz nights. If you are interested in helping please go to our Contact Form, select “Volunteering” from the drop-down menu and send a message.
