Redwings

It is with profound sadness that we announce the closure of two of our visitor centres, Redwings Mountains in Forfar, Angus, and Redwings Oxhill in Warwickshire, following a period of staff consultation. Both centres are closed with immediate effect. redwings.org.uk/news-and-featu…

@HespeChris34466 @Jura_Harris Thank you so much x

@RedwingsHS @Jura_Harris Hoping Redwings will be able to continue to rescue the same number of horses, ponies and donkeys! Setting up a small direct debit.

@greenbeltsal You can read more details on our website- redwings.org.uk/news-and-featu… ❤️

@RedwingsHS Oh no why ?

Thank you so much for all your support on this very important topic @DrNeilHudson ❤️ Our petition is still open until 4th March and more signatures on it only lend weight to the importance of this topic for so many. #KeepHorsesInMind Sign here 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7381…

@FlavellG @janetcwebsterb1 Yes, all the horses and donkeys would be relocated to our other sites x

@janetcwebsterb1 Ah, good to know

Sad news looks like Redwings Mountains sanctuary near Forfar will close

@FlavellG @janetcwebsterb1 Any potential movements would take place once the process is concluded. All equines will be looked after and moved to the best site possible for them based on their healthcare needs and friendships. x

@janetcwebsterb1 Oh no, what will happen to donkeys?

@janetcwebsterb1 At present the site is under consultation for potential closure, not actually closing. More information is available on our website - redwings.org.uk/news-and-featu…

🐴 Fireworks can cause serious distress and injury to horses 🧨 ✍️ Over 180k supporters signed @RedwingsHS petition for quieter fireworks, which was debated in Parliament this week 📢 Here's how you can take action to help 👉 redwings.org.uk/what-we-do/our… #EquineWelfare

@Boro19 @HorseCharity @MA_PurplePoppy @RedwingsTucker Thank you so much, and to you xxx

@Boro19 @HorseCharity @MA_PurplePoppy Thank you so much for all your support! Wishing you a very Happy Christmas ❤️

As a result, not all sanctuaries are equal and too often we have been involved in cases of severe neglect and suffering in places called ‘sanctuaries’. This has often led to Redwings offering spaces for horses like Ringo, who needed to be rescued for a second time. ❤️ (3/3)

Redwings knows all too well how much knowledge, time, effort and commitment is needed to rescue and care for animals in need. At present, anyone can set and run a ‘sanctuary’ without checks or even being required to register their existence. (2/3)

Redwings welcomes the Government’s long-awaited new Animal Welfare Strategy. 🐴 In particular, we are pleased to see further consideration being given to the licensing of animal rescue and rehoming centres. #animalwelfarereform #animalwelfare (1/3)

@RedwingsHS I notice when I make a donation to you it dosnt ask if I'm a tax payer so you can claim gift aid.Other charities I give to ask if I'm a tax payer.

We're still talking about #fireworks - and so are many MPs! 🎆 #MondayMotivation #KeepHorsesInMind Here's just some of the activity that has been keeping the topic on the political agenda recently - redwings.org.uk/news-and-featu…

@EmmaLewell Thanks very much for the support, lovely to see you there!

Great to meet with representatives from the Fireworks Impact Coalition (and Teddy the dog! 🐶) in Parliament today. We discussed the negative impact that fireworks can have on animals and people. I fully back them in their campaign to make celebrations safer for all. 🎆

@AdrianRamsay Thanks so much for joining us and giving your support!

Constituents have been in touch about the effects of fireworks on animals and vulnerable people. I was really pleased to attend the Fireworks and Animal Welfare event to learn more about the need to review fireworks legislation.

Fireworks debris found all over Redwings Ada Cole 😔🐴🎆 @DrNeilHudson @itvanglia @BBCLookEast @BBCEssex @essexlive @Essex_CC
