Who we are

NASSL is an “umberella” under which many of the smaller but no less important animal rescues throughout the UK belong. The organisation helps animals, both wild and domestic on a local, national and international level, both long and short term. The NASSL organisation also empowers smaller animal welfare organisations to continue their valuable work.

The Bristol branch of the organisation was established over ten years ago and helps rescues and some charities in a number of ways.

It can provide funding in the establishment of a rescue, practical advice in the day to day running, or just a bit of moral support. We all need this support sometimes and the dedicated individuals who run these organisations, who are on call 24-7 caring for the animals… and often helping many humans in the process, are no exception!

Lesley McMahon, co-ordinator of the South West and Wales branch of NASSL for almost ten years explains how the role of NASSL has become a critical means of support for many of the rescues in this area.

"Doing just a little bit can help to end animal abuse. We are continually striving to help these rescues but first, all of them go through a rigorous approval process. Only when this process has been completed and we are 100% satisfied that they meet our requirements can they become part of NASSL."

To date, almost thirty rescues and charities are under the NASSL umbrella in the South West and Wales region.
