Dear John,

You did it! With your help, our ‘Double Your Donation’ Big Give Christmas Challenge raised an incredible £40,000 towards our ongoing Comfort & Joy appeal.

Your generous and kind donations will help Born Free enrich the lives of traumatised animals, helping them recover and live content and fulfilled lives.

But, there is so much more we need to do. You can continue to give to our Comfort & Joy Christmas 2025 appeal here:

Whenever possible, rescued individuals are released to the wild - but unfortunately in many cases, they have already suffered too much, and are too unhealthy or lack the skills they would need to survive.

With your support, we give these animals a loving, lifetime home in spacious enclosures at our world-class sanctuaries, or those of our partners.

A massive thank you to everyone who has donated so far, we are hugely grateful. It’s fantastic to know you care as much as we do.

Our Comfort & Joy appeal will continue at bornfree.org.uk/comfortandjoy throughout December, so there’s still time to donate to give our rescued animals a Christmas to remember.

The animals can’t show their appreciation, but we can on their behalf. A heartfelt THANK YOU for helping us spread Comfort & Joy this Christmas.

From your appreciative friends at Born Free
