Take Away The Tears is a Registered Charity (No. 1196042), dedicated to supporting dogs and other animals that have been abused, neglected or abandoned, by providing much needed supplies to the volunteers who rescue them. We had our first fundraiser in August and immediately began donating to those that rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals. In 2021, having supported many rescue organisations both here and abroad, Take Away The Tears was approved as a registered charity, in recognition of the work we do. Not only are dogs supported, but cats, horses and even small furies and hedgehogs. Brexit and the changing environment changed the emphasis of Take Away The Tears to our overseas beneficiaries, from donating goods, to donating funds, so our fundraising events are now even more important than ever. Because of the work of the charity, our support also encompasses the areas of:
Food poverty - by providing pet food to food banks, we help keep pets in a loving home rather than be given up to rescue. Providing pet food means more funds available for the family table. Sustainability & the environment – we provide a means for people to recycle items that would normally just be thrown away, thereby reducing their carbon footprint and preventing items from going into landfill
Work & opportunity – we provide volunteering opportunities in a number of areas. This allows those out of work to add valuable experience to their CV’s, and provides those that cannot work in a conventional setting the opportunity to still get out of the house and provide support to us. Community – we provide a community hub when the warehouse is open, allowing those with children and with dogs to meet up in a safe and welcoming environment to enjoy coffee, cakes and a chat. We need your support and would be pleased to hear from you if you'd like to help us in any way.
