| CA/PL0001 | ARC (ANGLIA REHABILITATION CENTRE) ARC (Anglia Rehabilitation Centre) is an animal rehabilitation and rescue organisation which has the motto "Quality of Life". ARC promotes responsible pet ownership, including training, correct feeding, appropriate exercise, appropriate housing and informing people of the importance of regular worming and vaccinations. The organisation only rehabilitates using kind and positive methods and takes each animal and works with its nature, not against it. ARC is looking for sponsorship from companies which they can recommend to their adopters, clients and students. A small but busy rescue and re-homing centre, ARC has a non-destruction policy. Any animal which is unable to be rehomed is kept by ARC for the rest of its natural life. Anglia Rehabilitation Centre takes in all species - large, small, exotic and rare - as well as the usual small mammals. At the moment it has horses, camelids, rare breed sheep, chinchillas, parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and dogs. ARC also has a waiting list of animals waiting to come in when funds allow. Unfortunately, the organisation also gets many animals dumped overnight on the doorstep or tied to its gate; these animals are never turned away and are helped back to health and re-homed if possible. All sponsors will be named in ARC handouts, and also advertised on its transport and on site. ARC is happy to accept goods as well as money donations and a list of what is required is available upon request. ARC has been working quietly but consistently for the past 25 years, helping animals and people who want to keep an animal properly. However, the rescue side of things is growing faster than ever before. This is why they are now asking for sponsorship. Manager Susan Knights has always worked to support ARC, as an Animal Behaviourist and Trainer. She has lectured and given demonstrations around the country. She travels to wherever she is asked asked to go, to help with any animal: doing this may mean that the animal in question will not end up in a re-homing centre, if ARC can sort out the problem. As more animals are taken in, less time is available to work for the money to support them. Unfortunately, more and more animals nowadays are exhibiting serious behavioural problems, and people find it easier to get rid of the problem and buy another animal. Sorting out behavioural problems is not a 'quick fix' situation - to achieve this goal properly and with kindness takes time. Animals which are sick or old just need a vet and TLC. All animals which are left with ARC get lots of TLC. Contact: Ms Susan Knights. Address: Croft Farm, River Road, Southburgh, Nr. Hingham, Norfolk, IP25 7TH. Tel.: 07930 849 741.

| CA/PL0002 |  DROITWICH FERRET WELFARE Droitwich Ferret Welfare is a registered charity (no.1102038) involved with the rescue, care and re-homing of ferrets in need throughout Worcestershire and the surrounding area. The organisation is a member of the Fundraising Standards Board. Ferrets are fascinating animals which probably suffer more than most other domestic animals from neglect and sheer ignorance of their needs. Since the Welfare was established in 2003, hundreds of ferrets have been taken into care and the charity currently anticipates that over 200 animals will be brought to it every year. In essence the Welfare fosters stray, unwanted and abandoned ferrets, provides veterinary treatment where necessary, seeks new homes and carries out home checks where appropriate. The organisation has a non-breeding policy and generally all ferrets are neutered/spayed before rehoming. This is particularly important for jills (females), who often become very sick and even die from oestrogen-induced anaemia if they are not mated or provided with other means of coming out of season. The charity works with veterinary surgeons, other animal welfare organisations, pet stores, garden centres and local businesses. "Our mission is to advance the education of the public in the care and husbandry of ferrets, introduce live ferrets to the public, give talks to local groups, attend local shows and hold ferret awareness days. In particular we have noticed that many stray ferrets arrive at the Welfare with gastro-enteritic problems and have recently started a programme of investigation via laboratory testing. In this way we hope we will gain a clearer idea of what may cause these problems and which are the most common. Funds are needed to help us continue this valuable work".

| CA/PL0003 |  OWL AND MONKEY HAVEN The Owl and Monkey Haven in Newport on the Isle of Wight is in the process of building a sanctuary for rescued owls and primates. This is a self build project of the highest quality, to provide excellent accommodation for these highly endangered species. One of the aims of the haven is to take surplus male monkeys from stud book breeding programmes to live in bachelor groups, as they would in the wild. These monkeys are at present scattered about the country in various collections waiting for somewhere to go. The haven has generated a lot of local and regional media interest in the project with some sponsorship from local companies helping with ground clearance and materials. As this is a 'self build', the organisers are only asking for sponsorship for materials. Any company or individual sponsoring a complete enclosure would have it named after them, with a plaque and a photo shoot for a press release. All sponsors will be named on a board at the entrance to the park, and also on the haven's website. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Contact: Don Walser.

| CA/0005 | BRITISH FERAL GOAT RESEARCH GROUP The British Feral Goat Research Group is Britain's dedicated feral goat organisation. A small group currently undergoing registered charity status, the organisation represents this rare and threatened animal. The British Primitive (feral goat with no modern goat blood through it) Goat is now one of our rarer breeds. All our domestic breeds of today are descended from foreign imports, and our primitive breed would have died out completely but for the fact that some escaped or were turned loose on the hills to run wild. But having all died out in domestication our feral population has been in decline for some time. Recent large culls (eg circa 1,200 in Galloway) have seen numbers drop dramatically. Known introgression with modern breeds has spoiled some herds. The number of true British Primitive Goats has therefore been severely reduced (possibly to circa 1,500). Urgent action is needed to protect, preserve and promote what is rapidly becoming a remnant of our Primitive breed. Sponsors can help safeguard this beautiful animal and educate the public about its importance. The organisation currently receives no funding for this work. Contact: Tracy Livingstone.

| CA/0012 | THE KENNEL CLUB The object of The Kennel Club is to promote, in every way possible, the general improvement of dogs. The club has a long history, dating back to the time in 1870 when the National Dog Club Committee was formed and a discussion ensued which resulted in twelve gentlemen founding The Kennel Club. The number of those involved in the government of the dog world in this country has increased tremendously and The Kennel Club is now concerned with aspects of general canine matters which could not have been foreseen in the 1870s, when the conduct of dog shows and trials was the sole consideration. The first Crufts show in that name was booked into the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington in 1891, named after its founder, Charles Cruft. Sponsorship opportunities are available via high profile canine events such as Crufts itself, Discover Dogs, Young Kennel Club and the Good Citizen Dog Scheme. Further information on events can be gained via the club's web site. Contact: Helen Fox, Marketing & Business Development Executive. Address: 1-5 Clarges Street, London W1J 8AB. Tel.: 020 7518 1049.

| CA/0013 | THE MAMMAL SOCIETY The Mammal Society is the voice for British mammals and the only organisation solely dedicated to the study and conservation of all British mammals. Many of our British mammals are disappearing from the countryside: red squirrels, dormice, water voles – the list is too long. We can only protect our threatened mammals if we know where they live and how to identify them and the signs (droppings, footprints) they leave behind. The Mammal Society runs nationwide surveys to monitor the populations of British mammals and identify their habitat requirements. They are also the leading provider of top quality training in all aspects of mammal work from identification skills to survey techniques. This all costs money and so the society needs support urgently to help them expand and build on this work. Sponsorship opportunities exist to fund projects on individual species (eg water shrew) or groups of species (eg garden mammals). There are also opportunities to sponsor the society's training courses - on a particular topic or area of the country (eg Northern Ireland) - or other aspects of their work.

| CA/0025 | THE WILDLIFE TRUSTS FOR BIRMINGHAM & THE BLACK COUNTRY: INTERNATIONAL DAWN CHORUS DAY International Dawn Chorus Day boasts a position as one of the most enduring and popular annual environmental events on the calendar. The simple concept is of early morning gatherings to hear the dawn chorus at nature reserves, parks or other open spaces, often followed by a healthy, hearty breakfast. The history and background to this exciting event is documented on www.idcd.info, the IDCD website. In 2005, over 150 events from around the world were registered, with many, many more unregistered events. Participating UK organisations include The Wildlife Trusts, RSPB, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, National Trust, English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage, Local Authority Ranger Services and very many more, down to small local groups. Birdwatch Ireland organises a busy programme of events in Eire. Thousands of individuals make the effort to rise early and appreciate Nature's daily miracle on International Dawn Chorus Day. Millions more get to here about the event and learn more about the need to conserve wild birds. Excellent press and media coverage was achieved, mostly in the UK, but also with a good profile in North America, Europe and elswhere in the world. The message of International Dawn Chorus Day is a simple one, allowing hundreds of organisations to raise the profile of their essential conservation work for wild birds and their habitats. The colours and sounds of wild birds make this a sponsorship opportunity well suited to multi-media promotion, especially using the web. International Dawn Chorus Day needs sponsorship support so that the organisation can encourage a greater number of event registrations; run a telephone/email support service for event organisers and help people find their local event; and also to raise the profile of the event even higher. The UK organisers also want to increase their contact with overseas event organisers, especially in Europe, North America, Australasia and Southern Africa. This is a package with great appeal for a UK-based organisation. The organisers have been able to make International Dawn Chorus Day a remarkable success - with your support, they say, it could be the biggest international wildlife event of all!
