Appeal launched to replace stolen animal ambulance

Animal welfare charity Mayhew has launched an urgent appeal to replace its stolen animal ambulance.

The ambulance was stolen on the 8 July in Hampstead. But Mayhew had to be sure that it wouldn’t be found or returned before launching the appeal.

‘The animal ambulance is vital to our work and transported hundreds of sick and injured animals throughout its service with us,’ the charity said in a statement.

‘Being one ambulance down is having a huge impact on the amount of animals we are to rescue. We urgently need to have an ambulance back on the road and we need to raise the funds as quickly as possible to make this happen.’

The charity will use funds raised through the appeal to buy a larger, safer and completely electric vehicle. This will save them money in the long run and will make them exempt from paying various road taxes and congestion charges.

“Our Mayhew ambulances have been on the road helping thousands of animals since 1925,” commented Mayhew CEO, Caroline Yates. “They are vital to our work and having one of them stolen is having a huge impact on the number of animals we’re able to rescue. We desperately need to raise enough funds for a replacement, so anything anyone could donate would be very much appreciated.”

Mayhew has so far raised just over £3,000 of its £17,000 target. If you would like to make a donation towards the ambulance, visit their JustGiving page at https://www.justgiving.com/campaigns/charity/mahome/van
