We at MNHQ are doing some work with Animal Friends Pet Insurance to find a worthy animal welfare charity to receive a donation of £100,000.

Mumsnet users are going to decide the final winner from a shortlist of three, but before we do that we want Mumsnet users to pick a charity to make it through to the final round.

The three charity choices to choose from are:
Celia Hammond Trust
British Hen Welfare Trust
The Horse Trust

Here is some info from Animal Friends about who they are and what they do: “To celebrate twenty successful years of providing affordable pet insurance as well as donating millions of pounds to animal welfare charities around the world, Animal Friends Pet Insurance have decided to give away a whopping £100,000k to one deserving animal charity in the UK just in time for Christmas.

Animal Friends was founded in 1998 to donate money to animal charities. By working with charities and supporting worthy projects worldwide, Animal Friends helps to improve the lives of animals, combat animal abuse and cruelty, assist in the protection of rare and endangered species, help conserve unique and vital habitats and assist local communities to protect and value their wildlife heritage.”

So please click here to vote for the charity you’d like to see appearing on the final shortlist.

Everyone who votes will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £50 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you all for voting over the weekend...we have had over 3,500 votes which is amazing Smile.

With a staggering 96% of the votes the Celia Hammond Trust is the winner of this round and will be entered into the final 3 charities, to be in the hopes of winning the £100,000 donation from Animal Friends.

Also Animal Friends would like to address some of your queries as to why the money cannot be split across the 3 finalists, here's what they would like to say:

"Animal Friends has supported all 3 charities previously and no doubt will do so again in the future. However, this large donation is intended to make a hugely significant difference to one charity with the help of the public but rest assured, the others have previously received donations from us too. We carry out a significant programme of donations all year round"

Finally, just to clarify any confusion of how this is going to work: the Celia Hammond Trust will now be put through to the final stage along with 2 other charities. In a few weeks there will be another thread where you can vote again for the winner of the £100,000 donation.

Thanks
MNHQ

Hi @thecatneuterer

Sorry for the confusion here. One of the other charities has been chosen by a media partner of Animal Friends and the other has been chosen by Animal Friend's customers and then the Celia Hammond Trust by Mumsnet users.

In a few weeks time, there will be another thread, where users will vote for the winner between those final three.

Thanks
MNHQ
