NAWT Essex
Our Clacton site was originally set up by Ann and Reg Sims in 1984 as Clacton Animal Aid. It was entrusted to the National Animal Welfare Trust in October 2011 following the Sims retirement after 25 dedicated years of service. Based in Little Clacton, we are a rescue and rehoming centre, where we put dogs and cats into new loving homes.
If you need to relinquish an animal to us, please contact our reception team so we can discuss the next steps with you. If you would like to rehome an animal from us, please head over to our rehoming page.
If you would like to donate items to help care for our animals, we have donation bins outside our reception areas. However, we advise to contact us in advance, to check if we are currently accepting your item(s).
Anything you are able to donate financially, is much appreciated, and will help us continue to care for the homeless pets that come through our doors. Thank you.
