Fundraise
We are very lucky to have some great supporters who raise funds for us in various ways. Every penny helps us to look after the animals at ABC and we are so very grateful.
If you have an idea for a fundraising initiative we'd love to hear about it! Please contact us to let us know and we will be happy to publicise your efforts on our social media pages.
To give you some ideas, we've had people joining Mud Runs, Firewalks and even had people running the London Marathon to raise money for the sanctuary.
Become a Sponsor
You can help us take care of the animals at ABC by sponsoring them. For a small contribution you can give an animal the time they need to recover and have a second chance in life. You will help guarantee their future with us where they will never be short of love, care or food again.
Sponsoring an animal costs just £36.00 per year, for each animal. You can pay with a standing order of £3.00 per month or if your prefer £36.00 annually.
Sponsorship also makes an ideal and compassionate gift. In return for your sponsorship you will receive:
-
A sponsorship certificate
-
A photo of your animal
-
Regular e-mail newsletters
You will be invited to visit the sanctuary twice a year to an open event just for sponsors. Here you will be able to visit your sponsor animal, get close to them and enjoy tea and cakes at Berties Café.
You can choose to sponsor one of our resident animals or an animal that's up for rehoming.
If you are a UK taxpayer please also consider Gift Aid with your sponsorship, click here to complete the
Gift Aid form online.
Become an Ambassador
Alexandra Bastedo started rescuing unwanted and abandoned animals over 45 years ago. During this time and until her death in January 2014, the Sanctuary has received, cared for and re-homed hundreds of animals in need of help and protection. Many of the animals are of an older population with some of the equines in their late twenties. They’re in great condition, happy and pain-free with a good quality of life. Some of them have been with us many years.
It takes a lot of hard work, money and effort to keep older animals and those with chronic health conditions in good shape, but that was the mission of our founder, the late Alexandra Bastedo and we carry that on today in her name.
You can help us take care of the animals at the ABC Animal Sanctuary by becoming an ABC AMBASSADOR.
In return you will receive:
-
A sponsorship of one of our resident animals of your choice
-
A sponsorship pack
-
An ABC Goody bag packed full of gifts
-
2 free entries to the annual ABC Open Weekend each year
-
Regular e-mail newsletters
-

Amazon Wishlist
From enrichment toys, to rugs and specific food, our animals’ requirements are varied.
Our Amazon Wishlist allows us to identify some items our animals currently need, and provides you, our supporters, with another way to help the animals in our care. Please simply click the button below.
PLEASE NOTE:
Amazon has recently changed the way the wish lists operate. They will now only send items sold directly by Amazon to our address. Any items sold by a third party may result in a message being displayed at Checkout saying, “We’re sorry. This item can’t be delivered to a List or gift registry address”.
To work around this issue, please enter our address manually during the checkout process. Here's our address: ABC Animal Sanctuary, Farthings, Southlands Lane, West Chiltington, West Sussex, RH20 2JU
We apologise for the inconvenience of this extra step and hope that this will not put you off from donating from our Wish List.
Unfortunately we are not always able to personally thank you for your donation as we don't always know who has bought us items as Amazon does not always share your personal information. If you can, please insert a note with your order stating who you are as we have no way of identifying the kind donor if no note or contact details are left. We will never use your details publicly.
Therefore, we would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU in advance from all the animals in our care!

Gift Aid
Gift Aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay for the current tax year. The sanctuary can claim back Gift Aid from the Inland Revenue (25p in every pound you donate). For us to do this we need you to fill in the form below and click on submit. You only have to do this once and it won’t cost you a penny. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
Please notify us if you:
· would like to cancel this declaration
· change your name or home address
· no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains
If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
