The online charity shop for animal rescue
Every tag funds a rescue.
Browse the animals. Pick a tag. £10 feeds a rescue dog for a week, £12 vaccinates a kitten, £25 sees a hedgehog through winter. Real care, at its real cost — from the charity shop that's always near you.

Secure giving
Two names, one rescue network
Charity Shop UK is the shop window; World Animal Rescue Network is the rescue partner that receives and processes every donation on its secure platform. When you choose a gift you are transferred to their donation page — with your chosen animal and amount already filled in.
WARN is a community interest company with a statutory asset lock: no shareholders, no private gain — surpluses are reinvested in rescue work. It funds and partners with established shelters, sanctuaries and rescue organisations across Asia, Africa and South America.
You'll always see both names, the padlock, and the same gift you picked. No surprises at the till.

Questions people ask
How does the animal gift shop work?
Browse the animals, choose a costed gift — for example £10 feeds a rescue dog for a week — and complete your donation securely on World Animal Rescue Network. WARN sends a personalised e-certificate you can keep, email or print as a gift.
Where does my donation actually go?
Every gift is priced against a real cost of animal care — food, vaccinations, vet treatment or sanctuary places. World Animal Rescue Network, an asset-locked community interest company, directs funds to established partner shelters and rescue organisations across Asia, Africa and South America.
Why am I transferred to World Animal Rescue Network to pay?
World Animal Rescue Network is our rescue partner and handles all donations on its secure donation platform. You will see both organisations named throughout, and the gift you chose is carried across automatically.
Can I send a donation as a gift for a birthday or in memory?
Yes. After you pay on WARN's secure donate page, World Animal Rescue Network sends a personalised e-certificate naming the occasion and the person — popular for birthdays, Christmas and gifts in memory.
Is this an online charity shop?
Yes — an online charity shop with no premises, no rails and no bric-a-brac. Instead of secondhand goods, the shelves hold real pieces of animal rescue care, from £5, each delivered with a personalised e-certificate. If you want a physical shop, our charity shop near me page links every UK chain’s store locator.
