Humanimal Trust

We want to say a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated to our #BooksForChristmas Appeal 🙏 Thanks to you - our wonderful supporters - our elves are now out and about delivering copies of 'Humanimal' and 'We Are All Animals' to children facing Christmas away from home, in a hospice or hospital. Our appeal total currently stands at £1,000. If you haven’t already done so, there’s still time to make an individual or corporate donation. Whilst we can’t guarantee delivery by Christmas, every £20 donated will mean another book can help to bring a smile to a child’s face 💚💙 https://lnkd.in/eYhJctnj #Fundraising #Christmas #Donate

Dogs don’t just share our lives, but also risk factors for certain diseases like cancer 🐶🦠 Many of these diseases share genetic similarities between humans and dogs. Canine lymphoma - one of the most common cancers in dogs - has relatively similar characteristics to human non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Both species need better, more effective ways to treat the disease. That’s why we have launched a new £250k fund to encourage collaborative, One Medicine research projects that can improve cancer diagnosis; develop new treatments or improve existing ones; and improve quality of life for all species with cancer. The deadline for applications is 29 December. For further information, click here: https://lnkd.in/e9t4cUcu #OneMedicine #Research #Cancer

We asked 6-year-old Charlotte, the adorable face of our Books for Christmas Appeal, to tell us what she thought of ‘Humanimal’ and ‘We Are All Animals’ 👣🐾 She said: “I loved finding out about loads of different ways that animals are just like me. The pictures are really cool and I learned about lots of animals I’d never even heard of before, like zombie worms, drongos and a type of monkey called a bonobo. Some bits made me laugh a lot and I learned that animals are much cleverer than I thought they were.” If you would like to bring a smile to a child’s face this Christmas, donate £20 to our #BooksForChristmas Appeal and/or buy a copy of ‘Humanimal’ or ‘We Are All Animals’ for a child in your life 📚 The deadline for guaranteed delivery before Christmas is midnight on Sunday, so what are you waiting for? ⏳ https://lnkd.in/eYhJctnj #Education #Collaboration #Fundraising

Today is Giving Tuesday - a simple idea that came about in 2012 and has now become a global movement that inspires millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity. This year, we are asking our supporters to get involved by donating to our #BooksForChristmas Appeal 🎄 For a donation of £20, we will send a copy of 'Humanimal: Incredible Ways Animals Are Just Like Us!' or 'We Are All Animals' to a children’s hospital or hospice in the UK on your behalf.
