By reaching more people, we can continue to build a world where working animals are healthy and valued, communities are stronger and livelihoods are more secure.
A huge thank you to @DeborahMeaden for sharing her support for our new name and our mission to transform the welfare of working animals across the world!
Deborah has supported our charity for many years, and we’re incredibly grateful that she continues to use her platform and influence to help spread the word about our work.

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.
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 https://t.co/OvjFsFmU7Z
