Stop Animals cruelty, Support Animals in Distress!

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. Animals in distress are a local charity that support animals that have been abandoned or mistreated or their owners cannot look after them anymore. Animals in Distress is run by volunteers and donations, they need your help to carry on helping innocent animals.

Animals in Distress re-home over 1,000 pets a year, and every year that figure gets bigger. Animals in Distress support a variety of different animals, ranging from dogs to rodents.

Easter the rabbit was abandoned when she was very little. Animals in Distress found her and brought her in along with the other little rabbit she was with. She was adopted by a lovely family that looks after her very well. She was adopted as a pair with the rabbit that she was abandoned with, name Tanzy. After Easter and Tanzy were adopted they settled in very well, but unfortunately Tanzy had to be put to sleep as she suffered from hip problems, so the family adopted Cody, also from Animals in Distress. Now Easter is happy again that she has Cody for company. If it weren’t for Animals in Distress Easter, Tanzy and Cody wouldn’t have survived.

There are thousand of rabbits, just like Easter, along with cats, dogs and other pets, that wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for Animals in Distress. We hope you will help us by leaving a comment answering the following questions;

- Were you already aware of the work Animals in Distress do?

- Would you now consider donating or fundraising for the Animals in Distress or volunteering at their centre or their shop?

- Have we changed your views on supporting Animals in Distress?

Thank you for reading our blog!

Help for Heroes – Helps the Heroes

Hello, my name is Isabelle and my blog is about Help for Heroes however before I tell you about the charity I would first like to thank you for choosing to read my blog and share my aims with you. I have only have a few aims these are…

1) To raise awareness to help for heroes

2) To convince people to support help for heroes

And

3) To raise some money for the charity.

Help for Heroes is a charity that was set up by Emma and Bryn parry in 2007 in aid of the wounded soldiers and their families as well. The money raised by help for heroes goes towards a mixture of things including a range of recovery centres across the country to help the wounded boost their confidence and recover as best as they can also housing families near to their loved ones. They do this by taking part and organising many different fundraisers which range between bike rides, concert, the marathon and many others.

Your probably thinking why should I care it’s got nothing to do with me but actually they got injured fighting for OUR country to protect US and they have a right to be helped.

Craig lundberg is 22 years of age and was serving in The army when he got hit by 2 rocket propelled grenades his injuries were severe and included; nearly losing an arm, extremly bad burns, he is also now blind. Whilst Craig was recovering two close friends, Adam smith and Alan Jones were killed within a week of each other. And despite the doctors telling him not to go he still managed to get to both of them. This shows that even though they have been through a lot they are still great people they are also like us therefore we should help them to live a normal life.

Once again I would like to thank you for reading my blog and would love to know what you think of it therefore I have a few quick questions:

1) Have you heard of help for heroes before?

2) Do you feel more informed about help for heroes?

3) Would you donate money to this charity?

Please leave your hometown and country (if not the UK) you can also go to www.helpforheroes.org.uk for more information.

Thank you so much for reading, Isabelle.

We Should Help The Animals In Distress-They Can’t Help Themselves!

Hello my name is Alisha and I would firstly like to thank you for reading my blog about the organisation Animals In Distress.

The Animals In Distress centre was opened in 1994 and rehomes over 1000 animals a year, due to reasons such as illness, cruelty, financial difficulties and more, and this number is constantly rising! Animals In Distress never turn away an animal (providing there is accommodation) and never put an animal down, unless the animal is too dangerous or ill to be rehomed. They provide the animals with a shelter food, veterinary care, and exercise.

Take Charlie and Rosa, the rabbits. They were found in a box in Cockington as their owners could not care for them any longer. If Animals In Distress had not taken Charlie and Rosa in they could have died. Now they can spend the rest of their lives in secure surroundings. Take Brixton. Brixton was a cat that came in as a stray. He was poorly and was on medication for cystitis. The centre did not know what he had been through and he can be a little feisty. Thankfully, Animals In Distress could take in Brixton and care for him until he was back to full health. Hopefully Brixton will find a loving home where he can relax and enjoy life. However Animals in Distress couldn’t do this without our help.

Would you have a place in your heart for an animal like Brixton? If you are considering getting a pet, would you ever consider getting an animal from a rescue centre? Animals In Distress ensures every effort is taken to find the animal a loving home with an owner that will love and care for them, and give them a second chance in life.
So how can you help?

-Volunteer, help out at the centre!

-Walk the dogs. Why not take a dog out for a walk and give them the exercise!

-Donations. Whether it is a small amount, big amount, or even some pet food, every little helps and is much appreciated!

-Join in with the fundraising! The centre sometimes holds charity events such as dog shows, book stalls, coffee mornings and more!

-Even consider adopting an animal from the centre!

Thank you again for reading my blog and I hope that now you are more aware of this charity, would help out the organisation, or even changed your opinion of this charity. Remember, these animals need your help and it wouldn’t be possible without the help and support of Animals In Distress! It would be very much appreciated if you could answer some of these questions and leave a comment about what you think of my blog! It also would be great if you could tell me where you came from!

-Have I changed your attitude towards Animals In Distress?

-Would you now consider adopting an animal from a rescue centre?

-Have I made you aware of this charity, were you aware of it before?

-Would you support the charity. For example, helping out, donating, going to fundraising events?

Stop the tragic reality of Bear bile farming

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog I feel very strongly about bear bile farming and I would like you to be informed by my blog. Not many people are aware of this topic because you don’t hear about it much around the media; bear farming is a real issue that needs to be publicised. The truth is that in some parts of Asia thousands of animals but stopping bear farming is close to my heart and something needs to be done.


I am supporting the charity Animal in Asia Foundation which tries to stop animals from suffering, they deal with many things but their main aim is stop bear bile farming and to rescue bears from cruelty full stop, but they still need your help.

The charity has rescued a massive 354 bears in only a around a decade of charity work Jill is the founder of the charity and put it together in 1995 I hope you feel as strongly about stopping it as she does.

Thousands of bears are being kept in unimaginable conditions all day every day just so the supermarkets can sell traditional medicine which is not guaranteed to work every time. They collect the bile by inserting a catheter into their gland bladders this can become infected and create a lasting effect o the bears. They are kept in extremely small cages with no sunlight except when the people come to give them very little food or come to extract bile once more. The bear’s skin is rubbed raw and they eventually go bald, their nails grow to extreme lengths and they have no life at all. I think this is so wrong and should be stopped this is why I am supporting this advocacy.

How you can help- First of all thank you for taking time to read my blog and if you feel as strongly as I do about it as I do please help by either making a donation to the website http://www.animalsasia.org or just have a look and read Jill’s blog. You don’t have to donate it would be a massive help if you left a comment- if you could please say where you are from e.g. country. Please answer these questions in your comment

Now that you have read my blog would you………………

• Be willing to make a donation?
• Join a fund raiser for animals in Asia?
• Sign up to Animals in Asia and keep up to date with new news
And finally………
• Will you tell your friends and family about animals in Asia and ask them to support the charity

We need to help our Soldiers with ABF the soldiers’ charity!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and showing an interest in my topic! I feel very strongly about helping the soldiers’ because my friend’s dad is out fighting in Afghanistan. My aims are to raise awareness for the soldiers out fighting or fought in a war and need ABF the soldiers’ charity help. ABF the soldiers’ charity is formally known as the Army Benevolent fund but they rebranded last April to appeal to a younger generation. In addition, ABF is a less well known charity so is being shadowed by other soldier charities e.g. Help for heroes. However unlike other soldier charities that only support injured soldiers, ABF helps ALL soldiers, former soldiers and their families so I feel they should be known for their amazing support for soldiers.

Corporal Andy Reid is currently in rehabilitation following the severe injuries he received by an IED (improvised explosive devise) while serving in Afghanistan last autumn. As a result of the explosion he lost both legs and his right arm. ABF Helped Andy recover by:

• Giving him ongoing treatment for his left arm (medical support).
• Adapted his house with a wheelchair ramp (Technical support).
• They were able to make an immediate grant to cover the cost of this installation (financial support).

Andy quoted: “I’m grateful for the help that I’ve received. I couldn’t get into my home until the adaptations were done and The Soldiers’ Charity did the work in about 10 days.”

Why should you care? I’m not here to give you a lecture or give you orders I’m not going to force you to care about soldiers but they are normal people. They don’t have big powers. There not in a video game so can’t restart there life when they die. Once there injured there injured for life. Once there dead there gone forever. There not fighting for pure enjoyment and anger. They’re fighting for us; they’re fighting for Britain. Although you might argue that they chose to be in the Army that is correct however they still risk their life. I’m sure you would all know if a footballer died but nobody could name every single soldier that has died in the wars. Soldiers don’t get paid half as much as footballers yet they are risking far more than important things than money.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog and showing an interest in ABF the soldier’s charity. If you need any more information post a question on my blog or you can visit www.soldierscharity.org. I would much appreciate you to leave a comment on my blog of your opinions. In your response could you please tell me where you’re from i.e. home town and country? If you do post a comment, please could you include the following:

 Had you previously heard about ABF the soldiers’ charity?
 Do you now feel more informed on ABF the soldiers’ charity and how it helps?
 If given the opportunity, would you be prepared to make a small donation to ABF the soldiers’ charity?
 Before reading my blog what was your opinion on soldiers?
 Has it now been changed?

Many thanks,
Emma

RNLI – We should help the lifeboats of Britain.

Thank you very much for opening my blog. Please stop for a second and take some time to read through it and answer the questions at the bottom as it would be very useful to me.

The RNLI; you may have heard about them but you might just be thinking ‘Actually, who are they?’ or ‘What do they do?’ Here I am going to describe to you who they are, what they do and why they need you.

People that provide a 24/7 lifesaving service, as the picture above shows, is only one of the many ways of summing up the RNLI. Others may be to say ‘The lifeboats of Britain’ or ‘The savers of the sea.’ Not only do they help people out at sea but in land as well. They provide flood rescues in towns and cities. And even when they are at the sea, you don’t have to be on a boat. Body boarding or surfing can be almost as dangerous if you do not play by the rules. They can teach you sea and beach safety so that you don’t end up there any way and so that you can enjoy yourself without worries at the beach.

The only problem is that by ‘they’, I mean volunteers. Unfortunately, the RNLI are not government funded and rely totally on the support of the public. They need you to help them to fundraise and earn money to keep up this fabulous service. But the public don’t seem as willing as I think they should. There’s the odd person that will do something to help but imagine how much more they could do if they had that many more people. I know that not all of us can physically get involved but most of us will all be owners of a bit of spare change. In Britain, small charitable bags can be posted across the country and magazines can be subscribed for. A pound may not sound like much but honestly, it can help anyone across Britain. For more information please visit their website:

www.rnli.org.uk

Underneath you will find some questions about my blog and I would really appreciate it if you could, please, quickly answer them by leaving a comment. Please leave your name, your hometown and the country that you live in (if not the UK) as I would like to know whether this is being read worldwide or not.

• Had you heard of the RNLI before you read this blog?
• If you did know about the RNLI have I know changed your opinion about them?
• Would you tell your family and friends about the issue and would you try to persuade them to do something about it?
• Would you now be willing to make a donation or even take part in the activities that are put on by the RNLI?

Thank you very much for reading through my blog. I hope that it helped you to understand what a brilliant charity that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is.
