Somerset sanctuary staff sleeping 'ruff' to raise vital funds
Colleagues at Ferne Animal Sanctuary, near Chard, will spend the night in kennels with rescue dogs tomorrow (October 23) to raise vital funds to support more than 300 animals through the winter months.
The group will be donning their sleeping bags and bedding down in the kennels with canines for company for a sleepover, highlighting the experiences of the sanctuary’s residents.
Ruff sleepers include chief executive officer Emma Purnell, Nikki Haddock, animal care and estates manager, fundraising manager Emma Green, and fundraising administrator, Abby Clark.

CEO Emma said: “For many years, we have held a CEO challenge around this time of year to kick off our winter fundraising efforts. This year, however, the team were eager to get involved themselves, offering to spend a night in our kennels, side by side with our canine residents, to highlight the reality of the lives we work so hard to improve.
