We're celebrating 2 years of the #NextdoorNature project in Bristol, part of a flagship UK-wide initiative showcasing how transformative community-led action for nature can be.
A massive thank you to the community groups involved, and National Lottery players @HeritageFundUK

Adding a pond is one of the best things to attract wildlife in your garden or outdoor space, even a small pond can support dragonflies, newts & frogs 🐸 They also become a feeding ground for birds, bats, hedgehogs 🦔. Learn more & see local pond pics

Meet Waffles 🧇
She recently arrived in our care, but hasn’t lived in a home before.
Waffles is a very sociable girl that loves to have company.
Can you can introduce Waffles to all the comforts a home has to offer? 👇

These are the hardest months for animal rescue. The days are short, the weather is cold and the rising cost of living means that money is tight. This hasn’t stopped our life-saving work for vulnerable dogs. A donation to our Winter Survival appeal will have an immediate impact:

Tune in to BBC Wales Investigates this evening. We share our concerns that the ban on #XLBullies won't reduce the rise in the number of tragic dog incidents as it doesn't tackle the root causes of irresponsible breeding & ownership.
