Our Objects

So what does Sicily animal Support actually do?
What are we aiming to do?

As a very small animal charity one of our goals is to support existing charities in any way that we can or that they need. This way we are not costing more money to reinvent the charity wheel. There is a great deal of compassion in the world and a great number of people that want to help and care for animals - so to unite is to add weight for positive change.
