Canterbury Horse Rescue
A VERY URGENT APPEAL
WE NEED NEW PREMISES
Canterbury Horse Rescue needs your urgent help. We need to raise £250,000 in six short weeks.
Like us all Canterbury Horse Rescue has been hit by the severe economic downturn, seeing a dramatic fall in revenue over the last few years with a greatly increased demand in the service it provides. This combined with ever increasing cost for the leasing and renting of the Canterbury Horse Rescue’s operating centre at Boundgate Farm, Faversham Kent is forcing the charity to find new premises from which to operate. Failure to do so may result in the closure of the Centre and a very uncertain and bleak future for the many equine residents that call it their home.
Recent negotiations between the Charities Trustees and the landlords of Boundgate Farm have failed to reach agreement on the charges more suitable to reflect the current economic climate the Charity will also lose half the available grazing which is reverting back to the landlords from the beginning of March.
Canterbury Horse Rescue therefore has to find new premises from which to operate not an easy task, as time is of the essence, and failure to do so may result in the Charity having to close, but all is not lost for the charity has been thrown a possible life- line that will secure its future.
Canterbury Horse Rescue has been offered by a supporter a chance to purchase, at a greatly reduced price of £250,000, a 24 stable yard, barns, outbuildings, and grazing ideal for its purpose, this offer is only available until the end of January 2010 when it will then be placed on the open market at full market price.
