Ferne Animal Sanctuary’s charity shops have been making a big difference – and now, we need your help to get them recognised.
The Charity Retail Association’s Favourite Charity Shop Awards 2025 are now open for nominations, and it’s your chance to shine a light on the incredible impact of Ferne’s shops in our local communities.
Whether it’s through bargain-hunting brilliance, eco-conscious shopping, or supporting animal welfare, our shops do far more than just raise funds – they bring people together, promote sustainability, and help us care for hundreds of animals in need.
What Are the UK’s Favourite Charity Shop Awards?
Organised by the Charity Retail Association, these national awards celebrate the very best in charity retail across the UK. From high street gems to rural community champions, the awards recognise the positive role charity shops play in local areas – socially, environmentally, and economically.
The “Favourite Charity Shop” award is especially meaningful because it’s voted for by the public. That means supporters like you can nominate your favourite Ferne Animal Sanctuary shop and help put us on the national stage!
Why Nominate Ferne’s Charity Shops?
Our shops are powered by passionate staff and volunteers, generous donors, and kind-hearted shoppers. But most importantly, they help fund vital rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming work we do here at the sanctuary
