CHILLI FM’S NOMINATED CHARITY

ARCH: the horse rescue we’re proud to stand behind

Since 2009 the Andalusian Rescue Centre for Horses has taken in neglected, abandoned and mistreated horses, ponies and donkeys in Alhaurín el Grande, and given them a second chance. That’s why it’s our nominated charity.

Why we support them

ARCH is run by volunteers, and every rescue, vet visit and bale of hay is paid for by people like our listeners. There’s no big organisation behind it, just people who turn up to feed, groom and muck out, week after week.

They also do the hard part. ARCH works with SEPRONA, the Guardia Civil’s environmental unit, and local police: when an animal is seized or abandoned, ARCH takes it in, nurses it back to health and finds it a home that suits it.

Three ways to help

Donate

One-off or monthly, it all goes on feed, vets and farriers. Even a small monthly amount adds up over a year.

Adopt

Once a horse, pony or donkey has fully recovered, ARCH looks for a forever home that suits its character.

Volunteer

If you love being around horses and donkeys, there’s a job for you at the centre or at fundraising events.
