About the organisation

The Farm Animal Sanctuary was established nearly 40 years ago by our founder Jan Taylor. On a wet February morning, all those years ago, Jan visited a livestock market and witnessed the horrors unfolding before her. Sick, malnourished, diseased and deformed animals were being offered up for sale. Some were motionless and hanging on to life by a thread, unloved and unwanted. Jan’s heart extended out to these poor neglected creatures and she went on to purchase over 60 animals at several livestock markets in England and Wales. They were rushed to her vets and received the urgent veterinary care that they so desperately needed. This was the beginning of the sanctuary and since then, it has grown exponentially and now cares for hundreds of farm animals in need.
