Bears: charity shop gifts
Sanctuary care for bears rescued from bile farms and cages — gifts from £18.
Reviewed — suggested amounts · Editorial policy
How does my donation help bears?
Your donation supports bears rescued from bile farms, dancing and caged captivity: £18 buys a week of honey and fruit, £25 funds a spa day with pool time and enrichment, £70 sponsors a sanctuary month, and £85 contributes to dental surgery.
Rescued bears arrive with broken teeth from cage bars and muscles wasted from confinement. Pools, foraging and dental surgery give them back the life the cage took. Nobody takes a bear home; the till is the gift tags on this page.
Who should skip this: Skip this page if you wanted to rehome a bear in the UK — that is the rescue directory, not a gift tag. Skip it if you need Gift Aid: World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC and cannot claim it. Nobody takes this animal home.
Can I take this bear home?
No. These tags are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care. The animal stays there. If you want to adopt or foster in the UK, use the rescue directory and follow that organisation’s process. An animal charity gift is not a pet. Compare sponsor vs adopt.
Is a bear gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC. Community interest companies cannot claim Gift Aid, so you will never see a tick-box here. If Gift Aid is required, give to a registered charity instead. The gifts on this page support care without Gift Aid. See about.
What gifts help bears?
Pick a tag and we'll transfer you to World Animal Rescue Network's secure donation page with this gift already selected. Or sponsor a bear monthly instead. Birthday and Christmas wrappers live on birthday gifts and Christmas gifts; choose the same care with a personal message.
Bear rescue questions
How much does a bear spa day cost?
The “Give a bear a spa day” gift suggests £25, named after pool time, foraging puzzles and enrichment for one rescued bear. It is a suggested donation, not a sanctuary’s price. See all bear rescue gifts.
Can I give a bear rescue donation as a gift?
Yes. After you donate, make a free printable gift card with their name, your message and the gift you chose, then print it or save it as a PDF to email — popular for birthdays and gifts in memory. WARN emails you a payment receipt, not a certificate. It is a charity gift, not a bear you take home.
Can I take this bear home?
No. Tags on the bear gift page are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care, not an individual animal. The bear stays at the sanctuary.
Is a bear gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC, which cannot claim Gift Aid. The gifts still fund care.
Can I sponsor a bear every month?
Yes. £70 a month sponsors sanctuary care or use monthly bear sponsorship.
