Since December 2016, Dean Farm Animal Sanctuary has been located at its Chepstow site. It is currently home to almost 200 rescued animals. Founder Mary Frankland's time is dedicated to the Sanctuary and campaigning to raise awareness and promote compassionate living to help reduce animal suffering. However, to operate safely after lockdown, £5,500 must be raised in order to instal new fencing and other measures. "After more than a year of so much uncertainty and isolation we are yearning to throw open our gates and welcome visitors; families, schools, colleges, and community groups to come and meet each of our rescued animals, our permanent residents of Dean Farm Animal Sanctuary," said a spokesperson.
