About Get Active with Animals
 |
| Welcome, and thank you very much for coming to visit Get Active with Animals and to find out all about the team and who's behind this site. (It won't take you long, as there are essentially just 3 of us; me, Sally, pictured below, Chico & Trouble (more on them later...) |
| I've always been an animal lover, having been lucky enough to enjoy the company of rabbits, ponies, dogs & cats growing up as a child, then volunteering for various animal charities thereafter. I'm a big believer in the animal human bond, that we need nature, wildlife and the animal world and natural world to help with our own wellbeing, as well as that of the planet's. I live in Sussex, surrounded by wildlife such as deer and foxes, rabbits & birds and I care passionately about wildlife conservation in particular. Get Active with Animals started life back in October 2007 as a way to help people find ways get active with animals, whether it be through volunteering, animal experience days, learning a new skill such as horse riding, enjoying their pets, helping wildlife at home, holidays with an animal theme, walkies with llamas, wolves or dogs, mucking out cats - well, that's all well and good, because animals are involved, and it's fun. I've owned cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits and horses in my life - or they've owned me. |

How I made this website... I've put this site together using Sussex based Create, and I'm not technically minded at all, but Create makes it very easy - no worries about jargon, very helpful help points, and lots of invaluable tools such as Tell a Friend, Events and Contact Us plus there's an online shop if you need one. And the support is amazing - if you do get stuck, there's always someone to lend a hand. Have a look for yourself and see what you think! |
