Awards Charity Partner 2025

The Sussex Chamber is proud to announce our partnership with Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare as our chosen charity. Rystede plays a vital role in our community, providing compassionate care and shelter for animals in need. Their commitment to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals aligns perfectly with our values of community support and social responsibility.

By partnering with Rystede, we aim to raise awareness and funds that will help enhance their operations and support their mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of countless animals who deserve a second chance at happiness.

Raystede is an animal welfare charity and working rescue centre, helping around 2,000 local animals every year.

Caring for a diverse range of animals, from dogs, cats and horses to alpacas, goats and exotic birds, our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to make sure each one gets the happy life they deserve. When an injured or distressed animal or bird comes to us, or their owners can no longer look after them, we take care of them. And when the scars run too deep, we provide lifelong sanctuary to those who need the care only Raystede can provide. We’re passionate about creating a world where animals are treated with kindness, respect and understanding. It costs around £2.5 million a year to provide our vital care for animals. With no government funding, we rely entirely on donations and the generous support from our local community. All injured and unwanted animals deserve the chance to find their forever home. It is our mission and privilege to help make that happen.
