HEATHER ARMSTRONG HONOURED

September 25th, 2017 - Friday July 7th, 2017, was an amazing and exciting day for the Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust when its director, Heather Armstrong, was given an immense honour by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons by being made an Honorary Associate.

Heather said, " I feel very honoured and privileged to be given this award and I shall treasure it. The GHDT is the total of all its parts and I feel that the people who support us and enable us to do the work that we do, the wonderful veterinary volunteers and practices who have trained our staff, fundraised for us, donated equipment and our fantastic team in The Gambia must share some of the credit."

For a tiny charity such as ours, this is an incredible honour. We would like to give our very sincere thanks to The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons for the award and to all the veterinary professionals who have assisted and supported us over the years.

EQUINE AMBULANCE

September 25th, 2017 - On September 17th we had the most incredible news to announce. We had just returned from The British Equine Veterinary Association Congress where our good friends and heroes, Vets with Horsepower, announced that they are giving us funds to buy an equine ambulance that will double up as a mobile clinic. This means that we can go to do our mobile clinics and bring animals back in comfort with us.

This is something we have dreamed of for so long and have never been able to afford, and we are so very excited about it. The picture (available below) is of the type of lorry we will be getting and is a "mock up" as we have only just ordered it. Vets with Horsepower are just amazing people, they are some of the best vets in the country who take time out from their very busy lives to help other people and horses and they do it through providing continual professional development to other vets all over the world. We thank them and all the wonderful people and companies, who have the vision to sponsor them, from the bottom of our hearts.

Please visit their *Facebook page and sponsor them if you can because they do so much good around the world.

THANK YOU SO MUCH VETS WITH HORSEPOWER!

NEW CENTRE AT MAKASUTU

February 24th, 2017 - We suddenly realised that our supporters had not seen what all the hard work and efforts for the last few years have culminated in. We now have a lovely new centre which is made up from lots of donations. Everything in it, makes me think of the good people who contributed to it and I daren't start to mention names or it would go on for ever, but to everyone who contributed to it, this is what Chris Packham saw yesterday. We have more and more patients coming in daily and our workshops and apprenticeship scheme are starting soon. This fills us with joy as this is exactly what it was built for, the people and animals of The Gambia. Photographs courtesy of Jason Florio.

New Hospital

**

February 24th, 2017 -The beautiful new Makasutu Centre, that you can see in the post above, represents a great deal of hard slog, tough fundraising, dedication, love and commitment from a great many people, all we had to do was to ensure that it has done them justice. So many people and efforts have gone into it, there have been so many, who have done everything from raise money, give us goods, paint , varnish, clean, scrape, build flat packs etc. it looks wonderful and it is wonderful, but so much of it has been done with help from companies like Wickes who gave us very discounted prices on the hospital and pharmacy kitchen units, the beautiful tiles in the reception which were made by a lovely talented neighbour, Claire Pavey. The bathrooms were donated by Kohler Mira bathrooms, the X-Ray machine by BCF Technology and the endoscope by Burtons. The store room is well stocked thanks to the elves and fairies from Kruuse. Vets with Horsepower, The Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust and The Elise Pilkington Trust all donated generously towards it.

The furnishings were bought very cheaply from a restaurant that was closing down and the beds were made by our watchman for £6 each. Fatou, our housekeeper, sourced the cloth for the curtains and organised the tailor. It is just amazing what can be done when every one pulls together. Someone asked me how I feel when I walk around the centre. It reminds me of all the wonderful people who have helped in so many different ways and that is reflected in the atmosphere of the place, which has a peace and calm about it.

APPRENTICESHIP SCHEME

January 27th, 2017 - Many of you will have heard of the recent problems in The Gambia, many of the youths have tried to go "the back way" and have ended up either drowning in the Mediterranean or in refugee camps in Europe. Unemployment in The Gambia is very high and the new Government faces a huge task to turn things around.

We came up with the idea of an apprenticeship scheme where unemployed youths can come and work with the GHDT and learn, then they can take their new found knowledge back to their communities to help the animals there. The cost of such a scheme would be £10 per week, £40 per month, or £480 per year, which would give a young person hope and skills which he/she could use to help his community. If you would be interested in participating in this scheme you would be given the details of the young person that you are sponsoring and would receive a report at the end of the year on his/her progress. You could even come to visit the person you sponsor.

This is really a unique way of helping both people and animals and though we know that £10 per week is a large amount of money, £480 as a fundraising target is achievable. It would be a wonderful thing to do and would give a young person hope and help with animal welfare too.

For more information about taking part in this scheme, please contact the GHDT Office.

Thank you!

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT DOG TRAINERS! January 20th, 2017 - We are looking for a positive reinforcement trainer to volunteer their time to train this pup to become a demonstration dog who could go into schools and offices and demonstrate what dogs are capable of. It is an important position and a unique opportunity to make a real impact on animal welfare. Airfares will be paid and board and lodging provided. Please contact the GHDT Office if you are interested in helping. Thank you!

HORSE AND DONKEY SHOW 2017 - UPDATE January 16th, 2017 - Due to the ongoing situation in The Gambia, the show has had to be postponed and will take place later in the year. If the situation permits, we will have a small local show at Makasutu. ** December 26th, 2016 - We will be holding a show on the 22nd January, 2017, at the Abuko Showground. It will be the first show down in the new area in which we are working and we are looking forward to getting to know the horse and donkey owners of the area. Judging will be carried out by overseas judges and initially will be on condition and handling of the animals. We will gradually introduce conformation over the next few years, but initially we want to keep it simple. The show will enable us to give information to both the owners and the public at large. There will be good prizes, rosettes and supreme champions ribbons and trophies. Animals attending will be offered headcollars and bits and will also have access to veterinary treatment if required. We welcome visitors and look forward to meeting supporters there. Music will be provided by the internationally renowned kora player and musician, Jaliba Kuyateh and some local crafts will be for sale. We look forward to seeing friends and supporters there.

WORLD RABIES DAY

September 28th, 2016 - Today is World Rabies Day and we are pleased to say that we have joined together with a number of other Gambian organisations to celebrate the event and together we will be supporting a month long rabies vaccination campaign throughout the country. The bulk of the work will be carried out by the Department of Livestock Services, but we were pleased to be able to make a contribution, both financially and with staff and equipment.

Meanwhile our little beach dogs have been vaccinated already and are grabbing some home comforts before heading off down to the beach again.

NEW PATRON AND SUPPORTERS

September 20th, 2016 - We are absolutely delighted to announce that three very well known and well respected people have endorsed our work and agreed to be our patron and supporters.

Nigel Havers has very kindly agreed to be our Patron and said, "It is a privilege to be able to call myself a patron of this charity which from its very grass roots literally saves lives and benefits both human and animal lives in such a holistic way. The rest of the world take note! Nigel Havers.” We are very grateful to him for his patronage.

John Humphrys has also endorsed and supports our work, and we are extremely proud that he approves of our approach of "helping people to help themselves" It means a great deal to us to have such support.

Canadian children’s author, Robert Munsch, has also endorsed and supported our work, donating a signed copy of one of his books for a fundraiser.

We would like to give them all our very sincere thanks.

FUNDING FOR EQUINE HOSPITAL

March 2nd, 2016 - Emma Meadmore has set up a campaign to raise funds for The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust to enable us to complete the building of an essential equine hospital in an urban area of The Gambia. Funds are desperately needed to finish this ground breaking centre which will help to vastly improve the welfare of the working equines in this region. The centre will be significant by educating and increasing the Gambian veterinary capacity and providing training opportunities for overseas vets so that they can provide the support that these animals and their owners in this coastal region of the Gambia are sadly lacking. The equine hospital will provide stabling for 25 in-patients, offices, a visitor centre and a lecture room together with accommodation for volunteers, students and staff. Here is what your contribution can help towards:

WORKSHOP

January 7th, 2016 - In April 2015, we were delighted to welcome a German charity to work with us to hold a workshop for veterinarians and veterinary assistants.

We are busy preparing for another training workshop for students from The Gambia College. This workshop will be carried out in partnership with a German charity called WTS. Welttierschutzstiftung (WTS) believes that education is the most crucial and sustainable tool to create a world in which animals are treated with respect and understanding. In co-operation with local partners, organisations and universities they aim to enhance the standards of practical veterinary treatment, surgical skills and profound veterinary knowledge, so they are the perfect partners for us. We had expected 20 students, but 50 have registered to come on the course and we are delighted at the response! It will also provide Professor Sir Horace and the youngsters some more opportunities for socializing which they love to do when we have visitors!

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT ORPHAN FOALS

May 2nd, 2014 - This year, 2014, we have had an influx of orphan foals, both horses and donkeys, and we are desperately in need of funds to support their ongoing costs. Each foal needs milk powder for several months, along with all the little extras such as rice bran and hay, young horse supplements, medicines, not to mention the gas to boil the kettle for the milk and fuel to pump the generator for water.

The overall cost to rear each orphan foal is about £500. This puts us in a very difficult position as the cost of raising them is almost more than the cost of buying a horse, but thankfully, we have yet to meet anyone on our staff who can bring themselves to turn their backs on these little creatures who need us so badly.

If you think you would be able to support us by raising funds to help us save these foals, whether it is a sponsored ride or run, a sponsored dog walk, a quiz, a car boot sale or a cake sale, please Contact Us for a Fundraising Pack, or alternatively make a donation on our website via Just Giving, by pressing the logo below:

Thank you.

OFFER TO VISIT THE NEW CENTRE AT MAKASUTU FOREST

Set on the banks of a wide salt water creek which runs into the main River Gambia, with four floating lodges, a stilted lodge over the water, three very large lodges on the edge of the forest and a grass roofed one with a terrace out into the mangrove, this is as peaceful as it gets. A bird-lovers’ heaven, and home to hundreds of different species, Mandina is a by-word for responsible tourism, working with the local communities to provide a unique experience. May and June are wonderful months to visit Gambia, when the main tourist season has finished and before the rains come in July. It is warm and sunny and the best time of year for the wildlife who come to the area for the water. It’s practically mosquito free then as well. Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust supporters are being offered the holiday of a lifetime for just £125 per lodge (for two people) per night with a full English breakfast and three course dinner included in the price. You would also have the services of a guide for canoe trips and forest walks.

Special rates would apply for groups of 10 to 18 (maximum) people staying for a week. Check out the Mandina River Lodges *website and book soon. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH LAWRENCE and LINDA, this really is a fabulous offer.

VETS WITH HORSE POWER

November 6th, 2013 - We are delighted that 'Vets with Horsepower' have chosen the Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust as one of their charities to raise funds for in 2014. Vets with Horsepower are a team of 15 of the most prestigious senior academic and practicing specialist veterinary surgeons in the country, who will travel on motorbikes through 10 countries to deliver CPD to hundreds of vets at veterinary schools throughout Europe.

Headed by the infamous Professor Knottenbelt from the Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital, University of Liverpool, the team will be holding 9 separate CPD events, raising money for us and *The Smile Train. This will be the fourth time that Vets with Horsepower have held this event, and to date they have already raised a phenomenal £280,000 for their chosen charities, making a huge difference to the lives of many working equines and their owners in some of the poorest countries in the world. The money raised for us will be used for building the new centre near Brikama and we are extremely excited that what once was merely a dream is now getting much, much closer to becoming a reality. We cannot express enough gratitude to the Vets with Horsepower team and we hope that you will enjoy following their progress too. We wish the Vets with Horsepower team every success with their event. If you would also like to help us to raise the funds for our new centre, don't forget that you still have time to become a member of 'The 333 Club'. Simply raise £333 for us and you will receive a certificate of thanks and your name will be displayed at our new centre to demonstrate our thanks.

WOULD YOU GIVE A BRICK?

May 13th, 2013 - The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust (GHDT) is aiming to open a second centre for equine welfare and education in The Gambia, to provide their services to working animals in more urban areas. The GHDT staff have worked tirelessly over the past 11 years to improve the lives of working equines and their owners and the time has come to expand their services to areas further afield. If you would like to contribute towards this appeal, please visit the Donate page to make a contribution HERE. A new centre is planned, to provide essential veterinary services and educational programmes about animal welfare. The new centre will house a small number of in-patients who require intensive veterinary care and the GHDT are appealing for help to fund the building of the in-patient stabling. To erect the 10 stable building, 8000 breeze block type bricks are required. Anna Saillet of the GHDT says "The cost of labour and materials to make one brick is approximately £1, so we are asking people to collect up their loose change and donate it to 'Give a Brick'. This is the equivalent cost of a large bag of crisps, or a small snack - perhaps you could consider forgoing these things for one day, and instead use the money to purchase a brick for our new centre." The GHDT are already running a fundraising initiative called The 333 Club to fund the other costs of the new centre, where they are looking for 300 individuals, groups or organisations to each raise £333 to reach the target of £100,000. However, the 'Give a Brick' scheme is accessible for

everyone; even those who are only able to donate £1 will be helping to make a real difference to the lives of working animals in need and their poverty stricken owners. Together we can make a real difference.

REFLECTIVE JACKETS

May 7th, 2013 - Many thanks to the people who have sent us reflective jackets, they have been a great help. They are always in high demand in Gambia and we are always grateful to receive more.

We campaign to encourage all horse and donkey drivers to wear reflective jackets at night and to put reflectors on their carts to try and reduce the alarming accident rate for night time drivers. The uptake has been incredible and we are fast running out of reflective jackets. If you know of any companies, councils, airports, police forces, fire brigades, Rotarians who use them and who may be getting rid of their old ones, please could you tell them that we can give them a very good and useful home. Alternatively you may be able to put a notice in your local parish or community magazine for us. Such a simple thing, but it really does save lives.

A BRILLIANT IDEA FOR GIFTS!

November 6th, 2012 - Sam Barnes, who is a very talented pet portrait painter has offered to give 10% off any painting she does from people who mention that they came to her via The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust.

Sam's paintings are very reasonably priced and she really manages to catch the character of your pet. For more information and contact details please visit the Sam Barnes Dog Paintings *website.

Thank you so much Sam!

RECYCLING INK CARTRIDGES AND TONERS

August 9th, 2012 - We are delighted to announce that we are now able to recycle Ink Cartridges and Toners as well as mobile phones (working and not working) to help us to raise much needed extra funds! We are able to recycle the majority of HP, Lexmark, Canon, Samsung, Dell, Kodak and Kyosera cartridges, but unfortunately we are not able to recycle cartridges from Epson and Konica. If you and/or the business that you work for would be willing to donate your used cartridges, toners or mobile phones, on behalf of the Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust, please email the GHDT Office who will organise for either freepost envelopes or collection boxes to be sent out to you. All you need to do is fill up the box and then the recycling company will come and collect your donated items for free!

This is a really fantastic opportunity for us to raise some extra funds whilst also helping the environment. Please share this information with anyone you know or any businesses using these items who may be willing to donate them for us. We look forward to hearing from you!

2012 CHARITY AWARDS

June 19th, 2012 - Sadly we didn't win our category, and were beaten by a charity called The Halo Trust who are doing incredible work clearing land mines around the world. They really are a very deserving charity and that was proved by the fact they then went on to win the Overall Best Charity out of all the winners. We are very proud to have been Highly Commended by the awards and really do feel honoured to have reached the final short list out of so many incredible entrants. It was quite overwhelming being in a large room filled with so many people from a variety of different charities, almost all of which are considerably larger than ours, and a real honour to know that we were chosen to be among them. Once again we would like to thank every one of our supporters who have helped us to reach where we are today and who have given us support and assistance along the way.

To view or download the Award Certificate, that has been awarded to the GHDT, you can access it **in PDF or as a zip file

GIVE A CAR!

March 13th, 2012 - Have you been wondering what to do with the scrap car in your driveway? Well wonder no more – it can be transformed into cash for the Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust! We have now joined up with Giveacar, a non-profit social enterprise which collects unwanted and unused cars for charity – turning scrap into cash.

Regardless of their condition, cars are collected free-of-charge nation-wide by Giveacar then sold through an online auction or disposed of at an authorised treatment facility.

Profits from the sale are then donated to a charity of the car owner’s choice. Even if the banger is scrapped, it still nets the selected good cause around £35.

Many car owners want an easy and completely free way to get rid of their old car. Giveacar will help them to do this in a legal and environmentally friendly way.

All you have to do is go to the website and organise for '*Give a Car' to come and collect your car. Then you nominate which charity you would like to benefit from your scrap car (Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust of course!), and that is it. Simple.

To get more details and start making a difference, please visit '*Give a Car' or call the Giveacar Team on 0207 736 4242, quoting Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust as your chosen charity.

Details are also available on the Give a Car poster. You can access it **in PDF or as a zip file
