Beryl Evetts and Robert Luff Animal Welfare Trust Limited

The Beryl Evetts and Robert Luff Animal Welfare Trust Limited advances animal welfare through compassionate, practical interventions preventing cruelty and providing care for animals in distress from sickness, maltreatment, or hardship. Established with a founding mission of direct protection and relief, its core values emphasize enabling frontline rescue, rehabilitation, and high welfare standards via targeted support to proven animal charities. Driven by a philosophy of tangible suffering alleviation, it prioritizes partnerships with organizations delivering immediate, hands-on care, believing systemic improvements arise from bolstering capacity for rescue operations, veterinary interventions, and sanctuary provision over abstract advocacy.

It funds comprehensive animal welfare activities including rescue and rehoming for companion animals like dogs and cats facing abandonment or abuse, veterinary treatment and rehabilitation for equines, exotics, and big cats in sanctuaries, wildlife rescue encompassing birds, cetaceans, and woodland species through emergency response and habitat protection care, operating costs for pet rescue centers addressing neglect and overpopulation, capacity building for wildlife aid groups handling injured or orphaned animals, and core support for sanctuaries providing lifelong refuge for abused domestic pets, farm animals, and wild rescues. Interventions target animals in crisis—maltreated companion animals, sick wildlife, neglected equines—via practical models like on-site rehabilitation, emergency veterinary care, fostering networks, release programs, and cruelty prevention through direct intervention, fostering resilience, recovery, and ethical standards across species.

Exclusions encompass human-focused causes, generalist charities, pure research, or advocacy detached from hands-on care; no support for non-animal welfare or overseas activities. Distinctive for its unwavering animal-only dedication, broad species inclusivity without type favoritism, and trustee-led responsiveness to UK animal crises, it prioritizes established charities offering direct benefits to suffering animals—domestic, wild, or exotic—in England and Wales, valuing expertise in trauma recovery, ethical rehoming, and compassionate sanctuary models over innovation or grassroots novelty.
