We’ve hit the ground running in 2024 with the launch of the first Naturewatch Foundation annual Pet Rescue Grant. Looking at our planned campaign activities for 2024, spanning our six campaigns and devised by our wonderful team of passionate animal welfare campaigners, I can see it’s going to be another busy year!
It’s a joy to work with colleagues, staff and volunteers who are so enthusiastic about helping animals and, as a team, even when it’s difficult we’ve never shied away from tackling animal cruelty issues.
Animals don’t have a voice so, here at Naturewatch Foundation, we will speak up for their needs and we make sure that our supporters can too.
Our animal welfare supporters
As readers will know, animals are sentient – they feel pain and joy, just as we humans do – and we should treat all sentient beings with compassion and respect.
Whether you are passionate about pets or wild about wildlife, are concerned about the link between animal cruelty and human violence, are appalled by the continued use of animals in science and want to shop cruelty-free or want to make a difference globally for animals through our project work in Eastern Europe or our coordination of World Animal Day, we welcome your support.
We know that many people are not online so, whilst we include many online actions on our website, we always make sure that all our campaigns are accessible for those people not online, in paper form through our four annual campaign update mailings and printed Annual Review.
We recognise that we cover a wide range of animal welfare issues, so this year, we’ve looked closely at our social media to make it easier for viewers to see at a glance, across our work.
Where we are heading – our strategy to 2030
At the beginning of 2024, our trustees and staff are also very proud to share the publication of ‘Our Strategy to 2030’. We hope this document will provide an insight into our direction and ambition for animals.
Our campaigns are a real team effort, and we thank our supporters, ambassadors and patrons as we strive to deliver our mission. We hope you will be part of our journey in 2024 and beyond.
