By making our mission easier to understand and recognise, we can grow our impact - reaching even more working animals and the communities that depend on them. We’re still the same charity you know and trust, built on over 100 years of history, just with a brand new name.

Thank you @PeterEgan6 for helping to raise awareness of the critical issues facing working animals around the world this #WorldAnimalDay 🙏
4 Oct 2025
Today is the 100th anniversary of #WorldAnimalDay Millions of working animals,horses, donkeys, mules, camels & oxen continue to be overlooked.
This year’s theme, ‘Save animals, save the planet’, is more important than ever. The climate crisis is bringing extreme heat, droughts & floods & working animals are often hit the hardest.
@SPANAcharity support working animals & the communities who depend on them, following a One Health approach – which recognises that the health of animals, humans & the environment are all interconnected. When animals, people, & the planet are healthy, we all thrive. Learn more about SPANA’s vital work spana.org/worldanimalday

Happy #WorldAnimalDay! Countless working animals such as horses, donkeys, mules, camels & oxen are still overlooked, so 2025's theme, ‘Save animals, save the planet’, is especially important. Follow @SPANAcharity to support working animals: spana.org/worldanimalday #AnimalWelfare

Please watch our video to see the reality for many working animals: a critical lack of access to clean water, which is vital for their survival. By sharing their story, you can help us raise awareness & provide them with the support they desperately need. bit.ly/4e4OWMT
