our Legacy Leaflet can say,‘Yes’.

It is only through kindly bequeathed legacies that we have been able to buy new
land, shelters, kennels and additional facilities to care for the animals when they
arrive at the Sanctuary and, if necessary, to work with them until they are ready to
enjoy their new life at Hillside.

Thanks to the kindness of those who have remembered us in their will, we have had
the confidence to say ‘Yes’ to horses, ponies, donkeys, cows, sheep, pigs, ducks, rabbits and lots of other animals over the last
25 years and for the animals that receive this wonderful gift, it really is a life to remember...

Our deepest admiration and thanks go out to everyone, past and present, who has thought of Hillside in
their Will. If you would like to consider doing this, please ring the Sanctuary office on 01603 736200 and ask
for Lesley. Or, email Lesley at legacies@hillside.org.uk for more information or request our ‘Legacy Leaflet’.
