Why your help matters

Back Into Daylight relies on a small group of volunteers

Only 12% of total donations received by our charity come from regular monthly supporters. For that reason, it's very important for us to get as many individuals as possible involved in supporting our work.

Fund Our Care

Help cover food, bedding, vet bills, medicine, and the ongoing improvement of housing and fencing.

Lend Your Time

From cleaning and building to photography and event planning — every skill finds a place here.

Spread the Word

Host a fundraiser, share our story, or rally your community — your voice amplifies our mission.

Ways to Help

Here are different ways you can help our sanctuary

01 — GIVE

Make a Donation

Continuous funding is vital to ensure the wellbeing of our animals: food, bedding, vet bills, medicine and housing maintenance are our main ongoing expenses. Every single contribution directly protects a life.

Sponsor a Resident

Most of our residents stay with us forever and depend on us for a lifetime of care. You can make a huge difference by supporting one or more of our permanent residents through monthly sponsorship and receiving regular updates on their progress.

Fundraise for the Sanctuary

By organising an entry price event or one that simply encourages attendees to donate, you can raise essential funds for our animals. Host a quiz night, vegan potluck, bake sale, or take on a personal sporting challenge.
