We'd like to wish all our wonderful supporters a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone - two and four-legged - at Redwings!

This year has seen the Sanctuary face some of it's greatest challenges and accomplishments - neither of which we could have faced alone, so thank you for all your wonderful support. Your generosity and understanding during our strangles outbreak was unparalleled, as was your incredibly moving support for our rescued residents; in particular, abandoned mare and foal Star and Rocket.

The start of 2015 also saw a new addition to the Redwings family when we merged with Mountains Animal Sanctuary in Scotland and we're looking forward to opening the doors to Redwings Mountains at Easter next year.

In the meantime, Redwings Aylsham in Norfolk, Redwings Ada Cole in Essex and Redwings Oxhill will be running a full schedule of festive activities over the Christmas school holidays. The centres are open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays throughout the festive season, closing for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

Our head office will be closed from Christmas Day to Monday 4th January, and any enquiries received by email during this time will be answered on our return so we thank you in advance for your patience.

Please note that our gift shop will not be processing any orders after 3.30pm on Tuesday 22nd December 2015. Any orders taken before this time will be processed and sent out 1st class, but we cannot guarantee arrival before Christmas. We will begin processing orders again on the 6th January 2016. Thank you!

Once again, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas!
