AN ANIMAL sanctuary which has provided a lifeline for thousands of creatures is in danger of closure after 17 years.

Owners of the Sanctuary Wildlife Care Centre in Northumberland said unless people responded to an emergency plea for help with running costs, there was a genuine threat it would go under.

The centre has stopped taking in animals or birds because it cannot afford to care for and feed them over the winter months and is instead concentrating on looking after the 157 current residents.

A combination of the terrible summer weather and the cost of fuel has seen the number of visitors drop and school trips cut back, resulting in income plummeting by a third this year.

The sanctuary has been left with virtually no money to see it through the winter months and all of its paid staff are now working on a voluntary basis in a bid to help it weather the current financial crisis and survive.
