Jane has done dry January multiple times to raise money for the animals and has been greatly involved in charity work over the years “I love cats and have rescue cats so I try and do my bit so I do fundraise and raise awareness often doing donation classes. I am lucky because I teach yoga and all my students are lovely and love animals that they are happy to donate and they bring in newspapers, blankets, towels and sheets and I take them to Irene who runs the charity.

This year Jane has successfully fundraised 820 euros for the sanctuary. “Irene who runs the sanctuary and set it all up is just amazing, as is Aryels Garden, she works tirelessly and is such a brilliant person to support, you know all the help is going to the animals!”.

“A huge thank you to all my students and friends who are fabulous. On Friday 10th we all celebrated the end of Dry January where all my sponsors came along and I thanked them all and gave a speech.”
