Lawrences Support Ferne Animal Sanctuary with Donation...
19th January 2026
Lawrences Auctioneers are proud to have donated £400 to Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard, supporting the vital work they do for animals across Somerset and beyond.
The donation was chosen by members of the Lawrences team as part of the company's commitment to giving back to the local community. Each year, colleagues are invited to nominate charities close to their hearts, and this time three team members independently selected Ferne Animal Sanctuary. With that in mind, it felt fitting to make a single lump-sum donation to support their work.
Recently, Amy from Ferne Animal Sanctuary visited Lawrences Auctioneers to learn more about how the auction process works, and to see behind the scenes of the business. During her visit, she shared that it has been a particularly challenging start to the year for the sanctuary, with donations being harder to secure. She explained that the contribution from Lawrences "meant the world" and would make a real difference to the animals in their care.
A visit to the sanctuary is currently being planned in the coming weeks, giving some of the Lawrences team the opportunity to see first-hand how the donation will be used.
Founded over 85 years ago during the Second World War, Ferne Animal Sanctuary was established to provide refuge for animals whose owners had been called away to serve. Today, the sanctuary continues that legacy, offering care and protection to animals of all shapes and sizes, thanks to the ongoing support of donations and volunteers.
We are delighted to support such an important local charity and remain committed to reinvesting in the community.
