Like U CIO has been officially founded on the 14th of February 2020 (Reg. No. 1187973), but all of our staff have been volunteering in other charities for a few years before. As we have been friends for a long time, we have decided to get together and start a charity supporting European Migrants in our counties. Worcestershire and Herefordshire both have strong European migrants’ presence – and we are the single European migrants focused charity in a 30-mile radius. Our statutory goal is to tackle racism and anti-social behavior; we want to do this by building relationships, helping everyone solve their problems and making sure they realize that by the end of the day the other person, despite the differences, is just Like U. Our presence in the community is well established and we perceive ourselves to be the bridge between the minority communities we support and the general public. That is why we cooperate heavily with the Food Bank, Fair Share, Community First, Worcestershire Community Foundation, Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council.

We are a local branch of RSPCA helping animals in East London. We cover the boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and Hackney. We work with volunteers and animal welfare professionals to Rescue, Protect, Rehabilitate and Rehome animals that need help and care. We work with RSPCA’s Inspectorate in their work for mistreated and abandoned animals, including pets whose owners are unable to take care of the animals. This in return also relieve the distress the pet owners, who have to give up their pets due to changes in their personal circumstances such as ill health or financial difficulties. As part of the RSPCA network, we provide education, information and advice to the members of the public to help to improve and ensure the welfare and care for the animals in our areas. We help to reduce the incidence of abandonment and cruelty through education and support to the public. Animal welfare is our priority. Animals in our care receive veterinary treatment, vaccination, neutering, micro chipping and are assessed for renominates. This programme of care helps to prevent the spread of diseases and to ensure the wellbeing of the animals. We do not receive Government funding. None of our work can happen without the support of our generous donors, the members of our local branch, and our committed volunteers. If you are interested in finding out more about our work and to get involved, please do get in touch. Or simply sign up as the member of our branch, we will keep you posted and get you involved from time to time.
In 2013 my husband and I moved to a small holding in Gower with a view to enjoying a relaxing retirement by the sea with a few of our own horses, dogs and cats. Very soon after moving here it became apparent that Gower needed an animal Sanctuary Our objective is to provide a Sanctuary and safe haven for animals who have been subject to mistreatment, abandonment, cruelty ,or those who are injured,; and to raise the necessary funds for the support and rehabilitation of such animals. Since then we have rescued over 300 ponies many from local Commons, who would otherwise not have survived due to their emaciated condition and in some cases injuries from road accidents . We have also taken in orphaned lambs and homeless dogs. This expansion meant we needed to employ staff and we now have 3 part time staff and a host of hard working and enthusiastic volunteers. In addition to our 20 acres we rent over 100 acres of grazing land from local farmers. We have received many ponies from the RSPCA ,Trading Standards and the Police. Once we have restored these animals to good health whenever possible we try to rehabilitate and redo me some of them, For the first 2 years we were entirely self funding but due to the increasing number of animals needing care we now hold regular Open Days and use Just Giving as a fundraising platform In December this year (2020) we became a Registered Charity
