Be Kind To Animals Week gives us a chance to take a step back from our busy lives and think about those who ask nothing of us. During the first week of October (1-7th) we ask you to do something to celebrate your concern for animals worldwide.

This could be something as small as getting some friends together to pick up litter on the beach, spending a couple of hours volunteering at your local animal shelter or simply coming along to one of our organised events. More ideas?

Wherever you are and whatever it is that you decide to do, we would love you to let us know! Please visit the Be Kind to Animals Week website for more information.

Be Kind to Animals Week has been modelled, with permission, on the American Humane Association’s Be Kind to Animals Week national observance, which began in the United States in 1915.
