We Need Ewe!

Lotus Lamb & Animal Sanctuary is a vegan-run animal sanctuary based in West Sussex. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide life-long care to animals who have suffered from neglect and abuse.

To care for all our animals we rely on your generosity, either by sponsoring an animal, donating to the sanctuary, or volunteering, so thank you for helping us help them!

Sponsor 💚

Sponsoring helps us provide the best care possible for our animals. All of our sponsors receive a sponsorship pack of goodies and the opportunity to visit the sanctuary and meet your buddy!

At the sanctuary, we have over 200 animals and lots of them are available to sponsor, including our sheep, pigs, goats, and horses!

It takes a village to raise a baby, and the sanctuary is no exception! We have an amazing team of volunteers that help to provide care to all our animals, with daily, weekly, and monthly scheduled ‘shifts’, to one-off volunteer days for the big jobs, and working behind-the-scenes. The sanctuary couldn’t run without the volunteers, so if you have a love for animals, a big heart, and wellie boots, sign up today!
