Events

We regularly hold fund raising events/stalls for FRIEND, contact us.

Sat 30/06 - Sun 01/07
A memorial event for a great friend of the animals, veteran AR activist Gari Allen of Coventry Animal Alliance, will be held here at the rescue.

The event is intended specifically to remember Gari and his work for the animals. There will be the laying of a specially engraved hand picked welsh slate from Gari's favourite holiday location, at 4pm on Saturday, followed by food and a party, with practical sanctuary work on Sunday.

Friends are urged to offer support - please get in touch to get involved in any way, or add to the activities proposed, for example by bringing fruit trees for the orchard - the rescue's pigs will thank you!.

For more information about the memorial, please Tel: 01926 335826

Please bring a tent, there will probably be food to share. Check before bringing dogs.

Gari had been involved in the movement for well over 20 years, and was still very active on demos, stalls, meetings etc. He is without doubt the one person that we could say attended more events than anyone else we know!! Coach trips to events will never be the same again. He could almost invariably be seen at big marches shaking a tin raising money for Green Meadow Animal Sanctuary (http://www.greenmeadow.org.uk) and selling purple lapel ribbons out of a bucket. In his home town of Coventry, he was heavily involved in cat rescue, neutering, rehoming etc.

When he died on 18th June 2006 the animals lost one of their greatest friends. See also obituary by John Curtin at www.arkangelweb.org.
