We take a look at the he reality of animal cruelty in the tourist industry and how we can all avoid being part of the problem.
Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most powerful ways you can continue helping animals long into the future. At Hopefield Animal Sanctuary, gifts left in wills play a vital role in ensuring rescued animals receive lifelong care, safety and compassion — no matter what the future holds.
If you’re considering leaving a legacy to an animal charity, here’s how your kindness can make a direct and lasting difference at Hopefield.
Hopefield Animal Sanctuary is home to over 700 rescued animals, all of whom have been saved from neglect, abuse or abandonment. As a registered charity, we rely entirely on the generosity of our supporters — and legacy gifts are one of the most meaningful ways people help secure our work for generations to come.
A gift in your will helps us:
Provide lifelong care for animals who cannot be rehomed
Cover essential costs such as food, bedding, veterinary treatment and medication
Maintain and improve safe, comfortable enclosures
Continue rescue, rehabilitation and education work
Plan for the long-term future of the sanctuary
For many animal charities, including Hopefield, gifts in wills help create stability in uncertain times and allow us to put animal welfare first — always.
When you leave a gift in your will to Hopefield Animal Sanctuary, 100% of your legacy supports the animals in our care. Your kindness directly helps animals who have already suffered, giving them the safety, dignity and love they deserve for the rest of their lives. From rescued farm animals and dogs who could not be rehomed, to victims of the exotic pet trade and previously-neglected donkeys, every resident at Hopefield benefits from legacy giving. Your gift helps ensure that no matter how much time passes, Hopefield remains a safe haven for animals in need.
Leaving a gift in your will to an animal charity doesn’t have to be complicated — and it doesn’t mean you can’t still provide for loved ones. Many people choose to leave:
A residuary gift (what’s left after other commitments)
A fixed sum
A specific item or asset
Even a small percentage can make a big difference to the animals who rely on us.
We always recommend speaking with a solicitor or professional will writer to ensure your wishes are clearly recorded and legally sound.
Choosing to leave a legacy to Hopefield Animal Sanctuary is a deeply personal decision. For many supporters, it’s a way to reflect their lifelong love of animals and ensure that compassion continues long after they’re gone. Your legacy gift helps protect the future of Hopefield — and gives rescued animals a lifetime of care, comfort and security.
If you’re thinking about leaving a gift in your will to Hopefield Animal Sanctuary and would like more information, we’re always happy to help. Any conversations are treated with complete confidentiality and no obligation.
