Earlier in the year, Froglife was lucky enough to be supported by Animal Friends Insurance through their Facebook competition – a big thank you to everyone who voted for us enabling us to benefit from a £2,500 donation.

the Animal Friends facebook page have helped amphibians and reptiles, like this slow worm |
The competition was part of the insurance company’s amazing
campaign to donate £1 million pounds to animal charities worldwide. Fantastically, they have already exceeded
their goal and donated over £1 million to charities who work towards better welfare for
all the animals that have suffered from cruelty, neglect and suffering - including small local cat and dog homes as well as organisations
that help local wildlife and critically endangered animals worldwide.
“I am absolutely
thrilled to have reached our £1 million target.” said Elaine Fairfax, Founder
and MD of Animal Friends. “We have been
able to help so many really worthy causes, it’s been hugely rewarding for all
of us. We could not have been able to reach the one million pound target
helping animals along the way if it was not for our policy holders. We won’t
stop there though; we will continue to strive to support as many charities as
possible. ”
The money donated is generated by the people that take out
policies with Animal Friends Insurance. It means every time someone takes out a
policy they are donating to charity and helping other animals in need. Every month there is a Facebook competition
where people can vote for their favourite charity to receive a donation. It’s a great example of a business working to
help charities, and using social media for fundraising.
So, thank you Animal Friends, policy holders and voters, and
here’s to more generous businesses following suite!
