The Charity

Arran Animal Rescue and Sanctuary became registered charity on 20 December 2022. It took us some while to go ahead with such a commitment but since we had been rescuing for several years it was the next step towards making sure we could provide the best level of care.
The paperwork and registration wasn't easy but with help from friends, family and volunteers we achieved status in December 2022.
Our constitution and Trustees is shown below.
If you have any queries or concerns or questions regarding the charity your first port of call is to us at and we will do our best to help you.
You can use the same email for questions concerning the rescue. Our latest accounts and report are also below.

Constitution

The charity constitution is based on an SCIO, Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

The organisation's purposes are:-

To rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife on Arran that are sick, injured or disabled.
To provide a sanctuary and suitable environment for those animals where releasing would not be in their best interest and where more harm than good would be done by their release.
To provide suitable information, carry on other events and activities which enable the public to better
understand the needs of wildlife both at the rescue centre and in the wild.
To be part of the wider community by enabling people of all ages and abilities to volunteer at the centre caring for the animals and learning about their needs, while helping the volunteers to learn new skills and gain confidence, and so helping their mental and physical well being.
