Woodside Animal Welfare Trust

Woodside provides sanctuary for most types of unwanted pets. None are destroyed unless beyond veterinary help or are dangerous. Elderly and sick animals receive care for life if necessary. A spay and neuter programme is in operation and, funds permitting, welfare officers visit deprived areas to assist responsible ownership. All adopted animals are taken back if they can no longer be kept.

Annual Returns

As filed with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Most recent filing covers the financial year ending 2024.
