The Pollyanna Pickering Foundation raises funds and campaigns for conservation and animal welfare in the UK and worldwide.
Established in 2000 by Wildlife Artist Pollyanna Pickering and her daughter Anna-Louise the Foundation is a small but effective non-profit organisation which campaigns internationally to prevent the exploitation of wildlife and raises funds to support animal welfare and conservation projects worldwide.
Initially the Foundation was set up to raise funds for wildlife hospitals and sanctuaries carrying out similar work in rehabilitating British wildlife, and continues to buy equipment and build pens for many centres in the UK. However the Foundation’s scope soon widened to raise funds for the protection and rescue of wildlife worldwide as well as emergency disaster relief. Funds have been raised to help protect Rhinos in Africa, Wolves in Ethiopia, orphaned polar bears in the arctic, and help build a tiger orphanage in Nepal. Equipment has been purchased for project tiger rangers working in India, and many smaller grants have been made to wildlife and environmental projects. Although the majority of our work is with wildlife, on occasion we also make grants to other charities close to Pollyanna’s heart, including cancer support and children’s charities.
