eBay Charity Members

Here are some links (from July 2003) to animal-related charities using eBay to raise funds. These look like very worthwhile organisations, who use eBay to provide them with valuable, much-needed funds which make a real difference.

Please support them if you can.

Vale Wildlife Rescue

Each year in Britain an estimated five million wild birds and other animals are injured or disabled in some way. A vast majority of their injuries are caused by people, mostly accidentally, such as road accidents, but some are intentional like poisoning and badger baiting. Vale Wildlife Rescue offer help to these casualties by treating them and where possible release them back in to the wild.
