Battersea Brands Hatch is opening its doors to supporters later this month to celebrate 20 years of rescue.
The centre, which is located in the Kent countryside, opened on 26 October 1999, and has rescued, reunited and rehomed thousands of animals in the two decades since. The open day comes hot on the heels of the launch of Battersea’s new campaign, ‘Rescue Is Our Favourite Breed’, and will give animal lovers an exclusive opportunity to see the work that goes on behind the scenes at the Brands Hatch centre.
