Sheffield based charity Thornberry Animal Sanctuary has received a £3,000 donation from Barratt Homes to assist with its vital work rescuing animals.

Established in 1988, the charity has rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed over 20,000 animals from cats, dogs and smaller pets to pigs and other farm animals, whilst also educating the public on animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.

The donation was made as part of the Barratt Foundation, which is designed to support national and local charities, large and small, across the UK to leave a legacy in the communities in which the housebuilder operates.

“The three thousand pounds we received will be directly helping animals by fixing the roof in our new cattery extension area.

“Donations like this one are vital to our charity. They provide essential funds that allow us to improve and upkeep our facilities as well as pay for the animals vet treatments and keep our animals fed and happy.”
