Giving Back
FRIEND is a farm animal sanctuary with nearly 200 animals. They find their way to FRIEND through being unwanted, abused, neglected or abandoned. The sanctuary offers a free roaming (as far as possible and safe) home to chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, cows, goats, sheep and one alpaca who thinks he’s a sheep, on a 10 acre site nestled in between the orchards and hop farms of rural Kent, England.
FRIEND was established in 1994, when its founder Marion bought a disabled lamb at a livestock market. She then decided all animals that came would have a life of peaceful existence for the rest of their days.
Today FRIEND Farm Animal Sanctuary is run with a vegan philosophy of education about animal welfare and the need for a world of compassion to all its inhabitants, fauna and flora alike.
As well as educating visitors about the animals, FRIEND are working to make the sanctuary an example of ecological sustainability, for example planting native trees and growing food as part of a permaculture design.
As always, we thank you for enabling us to help them.
Love,
