The Trust is now closed to the public for the season.
We have a successful charity shop at 6 New Broadway, Tarring Road, West Worthing. This shop is totally run by Volunteers and relies on donations of clothes, bric-a-brac and small pieces of furniture. We are very grateful to all our Volunteers - the funds raised are invaluable to the Sanctuary. If you would be interested in joining our Team for 3 hours a week, either morning or afternoon 10am - 1pm or 1pm - 4pm please call Angela Collins on 01903 695975.WELCOME TO THE SUSSEX HORSE RESCUE TRUST
The aims of the Sussex Horse Rescue Trust are quite simply equine welfare:
One of our Residents.
- To prevent cruelty and relieve suffering of horses, ponies and donkeys
- To provide management and maintenance of facilities for the care of rescued animals
- To extend our work, including education and advice
We believe every horse, pony and donkey has the right to be part of a loving family where it will be cared for and loved to the end of its natural life.
Although no animal once rescued is ever sold where possible we rehabilitate the animals and, when fully recovered, we "loan" them out to homes that can provide such an environment. All potential loan homes are vigorously inspected and, if placed, the loaned animal is regularly checked. If the loan home is no longer able to look after the animal, for whatever reason, it has to be returned to SHRT.
At Hempstead Farm the general public are encouraged to visit on our open days and we have instigated plans to develop an environment that is both informative and pleasurable to visitors. In addition to raising awareness to the plight suffered by some equines in this country access to the public also raises much needed revenue to be used towards the care of our residents. It is essential that we make the Trust desirable to visitors in the hope that they will return again and recommend others to visit.
The Trust is a registered charity and can be found on the Charity Commission Site.
