Awakening to Animals upcoming event
One-of-a-kind conference looks at animal abilities

The annual Awakening to Animals conference is to be held in June to raise awareness of scientific and spiritual discoveries about animal abilities.

Taking place at Chesford Grange Hotel, Spa and Conference Centre in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, the event will bring together a unique mix of global expert speakers.

Dubbed the only international conference of its kind, attendees will examine how the growing body of evidence on the special abilities of animals can be used to improve the earth and its inhabitants.

The conference, which will be held on June 22 and 23, 2013, will have two themes; equality for all life and bridging new science and animal spirituality.

Founders Elaine Downs, Julie Lines, Sue Reid and David William Bell aim to create a global task force of volunteers off the back of the event.

These volunteers will use their skills and expertise to help charities working to save and support endangered species and abused animals worldwide.

"We at Awakening to Animals want to help raise the consciousness of humanity, to grow a community of like-minded people together that hold an energy and intention that helps to shift the way we view and treat animals for the good of all people," said Elaine.

Birmingham Dogs Home makes urgent appeal

News Story 1
 Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

More information about the appeal can be found here.
