In 1997 Nina Downes set off as a volunteer to Noah's Ark Animal Shelter in Crete.
Unlike animal shelters in Britain, Noah's Ark was struggling to provide even the basic needs of adequate food and shelter for the 600 animals there.
Something had to be done to help.
Nina's plan was not only to help finance the work being carried out at Noah's Ark, but to start a charity that would aim to prevent suffering and promote kindness to all animals abroad.
On returning to England the difficult task of setting up Action For Animals as a registered charity began.
Registration was finally granted in March 1998.
Since then we have with your help managed to raise
almost £100,000 for animals all over the world. |
