We have been caring for animals for 60 years but we are always looking to the future, improving our services and facilities as funding permits. As a registered charity we rely entirely on voluntary donations. We are very proud of the professionalism of our staff and volunteers. Raystede is free to visit almost every day of the year and very important to our work is our educational service, used by schools in East Sussex and beyond. We also offer guidance to all ages on caring for animals. Our Sanctuary, with its sizeable lakes, offers a safe haven for visiting waterfowl as well as for our chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. We also offer a lifelong home for goats, horses, ponies and donkeys which are no longer wanted. We are always seeking more help and support for our work, and there are many possibilities for sponsorship of animals and donations. We also receive support in kind from people offering their time as volunteers and fundraisers.
