Cornish Seal Sanctuary launches match-funding campaign
The charity's looking to raise £1,250 in just one week
The Cornish Seal Sanctuary is looking for our help to raise £1,250 in a week, which will be doubled to £2,500.
Money raised will help fund a major project - building new, purpose-built pools for its beloved resident seals.
The existing pools at the Sanctuary have been in place for over 50 years, and it's hoped new bigger pools with better filtration and more space will mean the seals can get lifelong specialist attention.
Every donation made to the charity this week (22nd–29th April) will be doubled through the Big Give scheme, at no extra cost to the supporter.
Leanne Attwood, Fundraising Manager at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary said:
“We’re so excited to be involved in the Big Give’s Green Match Fund this year! With the help of our amazing supporters, we are aiming to raise £1,250 which, when it’s matched, will result in £2,500 being donated towards creating a safe, enriching forever home for our rescued seals. This project is a vital step in securing the future of the animals we care for so deeply here at the Sanctuary.
"We know that times are tough, and giving to charity is a big decision. That’s why we’re incredibly grateful for every single penny our kind-hearted supporters choose to give. This campaign is especially powerful, as their generosity will go twice as far and make an even bigger difference to our Sanctuary’s future. Every pound we receive makes a splash, and for this week only, it makes two!”
