💚 Grant Impact: Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital 💚

At Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust, we were pleased to award a grant to Lodge Wildlife Hospital to help meet rising animal care costs and support the treatment of sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife.

Thanks to the dedication of their team and volunteers:

🦔 2,880 wildlife patients were treated in 2025
🦉 865 animals across 91 species have already received care in 2026
🏷️ Hedgehog microchipping and bird tagging projects continue to support the conservation of native wildlife
🩺The grant helped cover essential costs, including food, bedding, medication, heating and lighting, ensuring the hospital could continue providing expert care.

Among the many success stories were a roe deer that recovered from a serious eye injury after a road traffic collision, a sparrowhawk rescued after becoming coated in slurry and successfully rehabilitated, and two orphaned leverets (young hares) that were hand-reared and released back into the wild.

🌿 We’re Grateful for Your Support 🌿

We’re delighted to share that Eat Sleep Ride has received a £3,000 donation from the Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust to support our running costs.

This funding helps us continue:

🐴 Providing consistent, high-quality care for our horses
🌱 Maintaining our safe, nature-based learning environment
💛 Supporting young people and families who rely on our programmes

Core funding is often the hardest to secure — yet it’s what keeps everything going behind the scenes. From feed and bedding to essential welfare and daily care, this support makes a real and immediate difference.

We are incredibly grateful to the Trustees for believing in our work and helping us sustain a space where horses and people can thrive together.

Thank you for standing alongside us.

Time for a 💫

This week, we’d like to thank the Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust. The Trust have generously granted us £15,000 to enable us to create a new recoveries area for our animals.

The space will provide respite for dogs struggling with the noise and proximity of kennel life, allowing staff to work on reducing stress and behavioural indicators in a calmer environment. It will also offer a peaceful recovery space for dogs following surgery.

Currently, the room is being used by Cairo, a Cane Corso puppy who came to us in a heartbreaking condition. With a calmer environment and help from staff, Cairo has shown great progress both physically and emotionally and is coming out of his shell more as each day passes!

Support like this is absolutely vital and because of it, we can continue to grow and improve our facilities to ensure that we can continue to provide our animals with the best care possible during their stay with us.

Thank you 💙

💚 Grant Award: Bodmin Moorland Pony Rehabilitation 💚

🐴 At Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust, we were pleased to support Bodmin Moorland Pony Rehabilitation registered charity no. 1167401, a small volunteer-run sanctuary, through an exceptionally challenging winter.

Our grant funded 194m² of mud-control surfacing and stable matting, creating dry, safe shelter areas despite months of severe storms and extreme weather in Cornwall.

✨ Provided clean feeding and resting spaces for 6 resident ponies
✨ Created safe access for veterinary and hoof care professionals
✨ Improved welfare during one of the harshest winters the charity has experienced

We were happy to support these practical improvements to ensure the ponies remain comfortable, healthy, and well cared for when conditions are toughest.

💚 Grant Award: The Fox Rescuers💚

🦊 At Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust, we were pleased to support The Fox Rescuers with the creation of two new fox cub release sites in Wrexham and Lincolnshire, helping orphaned cubs return safely to the wild.

Our grant helped replenish funds used to build secure pre-release pens, provide food and bedding, and prepare young foxes for life back in their natural habitat.

✨ In 2025, the charity rescued 44 orphaned fox cubs and successfully released them
✨ New sites are expanding capacity for future rescues
✨ Careful rehabilitation helps cubs regain natural behaviours before release

One group of fox cubs came from very different beginnings: two were found wandering city streets, too young to be out on their own, and one was raised in a flat as a “pet”. Once in the pen together, they gradually bonded and played together before being taken to the new Wrexham release site. After a few weeks in the release pen, they were happily left to return to the countryside and live as wild foxes.

Images show the once “pet” vixen a week after her release, at approximately six months old.
