Comraich SC051764, located in East Ayrshire, is an emerging animal charity with the ambition of caring for the environment, strengthening communities, and enriching the lives of the individuals within it.
Our charitable objectives include:
The Prevention or Relief of Poverty
The Advancement of Education
The Advancement of Citizenship or Community Development
The Advancement of Environmental Protection or Improvement
The Advancement of Animal Welfare
At our core we are an animal sanctuary and will be working to rescue and rehabilitate animals from the agricultural industry. These animals will not produce any products or services, and no pressure will be put on them to interact or perform with the public. Their very presence, and the atmosphere they create but will be enough to enhance the wellbeing of those who visit us. Along with their daily care giving us the opportunity to provide educational training for underprivileged adults and school leavers.
We will be providing opportunities for work experience, education, and training for the community of Ayrshire and Glasgow. The training and education will revolve around animal care, horticulture, and biodiversity with SQA qualifications and work experience in the future. We will also be collaborating with local universities and charities to offer more practical programs to the community to help develop a sense of comradery.
By providing support for students with barriers to learning, and courses that help those who need more than the normal schooling system can offer, we hope to inspire groups of people to redevelop a love for education and improve mental health while doing so. Our training, work placement, and experience gained by working with us will also improve employment prospects which will prevent or relieve a major cause of poverty. Our first project as a charity directly addressed the barriers to education for those on benefits and the results have been amazing.
With these programs we hope to improve mental health, education, employability, and help seek out job opportunities while offering references which we believe are major causes of non-generational poverty. There are many disadvantages that make it almost impossible for individuals to break free from the cycle of poverty and we want to be a source of outside intervention to help break this cycle.
