===================================================================================================

For 2025 Swanley Bowls Club is supporting a local Charity, Second Chance Animal Rescue.

Second Chance Animal Rescue was founded in 2011 and is based in Crockenhill, Kent.


Their vision is a world where every animal is free from harm and can lead a safe, happy and healthy life.

To do this they rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in need, providing a safe place for animals of all shapes and sizes without a home. All animals that come to them are cared for by a team of dedicated volunteers who work to find them a new, forever home, rehabilitate them back to the wild or settle them at the sanctuary.  They believe that every animal has the right to live a healthy, happy life so never put a fit, healthy animal to sleep, and if they can't be found a permanent home then they will live the remainder of their lives at the rescue.


They are committed to promoting good animal welfare and responsible pet ownership, working to improve the lives of the animals and people in our community.   They work with local partners such as schools, businesses and communities and attend a variety of events to raise awareness of the needs of animals and the work that they do.
