The Hugs Foundation

Who we are

The Hugs Foundation is an equine rescue charity, dedicated to improving animal welfare and the mental health and well-being of people through the therapeutic power of rescue animals and nature. Our work encompasses rehabilitating horses, ponies and donkeys that have suffered from neglect, abandonment or mistreatment, providing them with a safe, nurturing environment and aiming to find their forever home. In addition, we facilitate well-being sessions for children, young people and the elderly community, experiencing mental ill health and a range of challenges and complex needs, offering a unique and effective form of alternative support that fosters emotional healing and personal growth.
