What belongs on this page?
Material errors: a wrong price, a legal status we should not have claimed, a statistic we cannot source, a dead locator we treated as live, or a first-hand claim we cannot defend. Typos that do not change meaning are edited in place. Email [email protected] if you spot something.

Certificates WARN does not send, and gift prices called costs
Gift, occasion, sponsor, answer and guide pages, llms.txt and the agent descriptions said World Animal Rescue Network emails a personalised e-certificate after payment (and, for sponsorships, ongoing updates). /answers/how-do-e-certificate-gifts-work described that certificate in detail. WARN’s checkout sends certificates only for its own symbolic adoptions; for gifts from this shop it emails a payment receipt and no certificate. Those pages now say so, and the answer page now explains Charity Shop’s own printable gift card at /gift-card, which the giver fills in and prints, and which is not a certificate or receipt from WARN. The same pages called gifts “costed” or priced at “typical cost”, but no cost source exists for any of the 61 amounts. They are now called suggested gift amounts: on 22 October 2026 the site owner reviewed them and accepted them as suggested donations, not costs.

Where gift-tag money goes, and what the prices are
Gift and sponsor pages said a tag funds the care it names, at a typical cost. WARN’s donation page does not accept gifts for individual tags: it takes them into its “Where it’s needed most” fund, and it publishes no per-gift prices. No source was recorded for the prices either. Pages now say gifts go to WARN’s general fund, that a tag names the kind of care you want to support, and that prices are suggested amounts. The donation review page now sends every gift to that fund, so the link to WARN no longer stops at a purpose WARN cannot accept.
-
Partner shelters we could not show
Across the gift, sponsor, occasion, answer and about pages, llms.txt and the MCP tools, we said World Animal Rescue Network works with or directs funds to partner shelters, that prices were "reviewed quarterly with partner shelters" and that a tag matched "what our partner shelters actually spend". WARN’s own pages say it is developing its grant-making and has not yet published grant records or named recipients. Those statements now describe WARN’s published status, and prices are labelled as suggested amounts. The overdue 17 October 2026 "next review" date is no longer shown.
-
Gift pages overstated where the money goes
On /charity-gifts, /charity-gift-cards, /animals/dog, the occasion pages and several answers, we said the animal "gets exactly what the tag says" and that prices were "the real cost". Our terms and WARN’s funding information say amounts are suggested donations at typical cost, and that a gift goes to closely equivalent care if that exact need is already met. Every page now says so.

Mother’s Day 2027 date
/gifts-for-mothers-day gave 14 March 2027. Mothering Sunday 2027 is 7 March (three weeks before Easter Sunday, 28 March). Seasonal dates are now calculated rather than typed.

Furniture collection and chain details
/guides/charity-furniture-collection said four charities collect furniture free. Checked against each charity’s own page: the Salvation Army and Cancer Research UK superstores also collect, some Barnardo’s, British Red Cross and Shelter shops collect locally, and Save the Children and Marie Curie do not. Mind’s shop-locator link had stopped working and now points to its current page.

Sponsorship photo captions
Photos on /sponsor pages were described as animals "at a WARN partner rescue". They are illustrative species photos, and are now labelled that way.
