Charities - Midlands

Wythall Animal Sanctuary is a local Midlands Charity and was founded in 1969 by Dave and Kath Davies and over the last 40 years has found new homes for over 30,000 animals, mainly unwanted dogs and cats.

Imagine if this local hospital was available to all who needed it.

After a lifetime devoted to caring for other people who will care for nurses when they need a helping hand?
