A STRUGGLING animal sanctuary received a financial boost thanks to the Yeovil-based company M&J Bowers.

The confidential waste recycling specialists had a special offer on throughout October, donating the fee customers pay to have their waste shredded to the Ferne Animal Sanctuary.

£1,205.76 was donated in total, which will support the animal sanctuary after it previously announced it needed the public’s support if it is to continue rehoming and looking after the hundreds of animals in its care.

A Ferne Animal Sanctuary spokesperson said: “A huge thank you to M&J Bowers Ltd.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to share that M&J Bowers Ltd raised an incredible £1,205.76 for Ferne Animal Sanctuary during the month of October.

“How did they do it? By generously donating the fees from their confidential waste disposal services, M&J Bowers Ltd turned a business need into a beautiful act of kindness for the animals in our care.

“Your support means the world to us and the animals – we are beyond grateful for this thoughtful and impactful donation. Together, we can make a difference.”

Managing director at M&J Bowers, Andrew Bowers, said: “It was our pleasure raising money for Ferne and we would like to express our thanks to our amazing customers who supported us to help raise money for such a worthy cause.”

Ferne Animal Sanctuary, which relies on fundraising through grants and donations, looks after a variety of animals with around 300 dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and guinea pigs all rehomed each year – many of which have suffered at the hands of humans.
