Please click on the Brooke logo to take you to their website.
The Brooke is the UK’s leading overseas equine welfare charity and their aim is to improve the lives of horses, donkeys and mules working in the poorest parts of the world. These animals form the backbone of the economy in many developing countries, supporting countless poor communities where many people earn less than a dollar a day.
The Brooke’s mobile vet teams and community animal health workers, and their partner organisations worldwide, provide free treatment to animals and train animal owners, local healers, farriers, saddlers, feed sellers, harness and cart makers. They currently operate across ten countries in Asia, Africa, Central America and the Middle East.
We have run many fundraising events in support of the Brooke and to date have raised £10,000. Please see our "events page" for future events.
During the long harsh winter evenings whilst most people were tucking themselves in and getting ready for bed, our vets Gavin and Ricki pulled on the lycra, turned on the head torches and took to the streets in preparation for the Edinburgh Marathon in aid of the Brooke. We would ask for your continued support so please sponsor them for this gruelling run. You can do this by going to www.justgiving.com/gavinandrickithebrooke. They will be running on 23rd May 2010, we wish them good luck.
