Naturewatch Foundation and their 100K for World Animal Day challenge!
As the proud coordinator of World Animal Day, Naturewatch Foundation is celebrating 100 years of this significant event. To mark this anniversary, we’re challenging ourselves and encouraging our supporters to make a real difference in the lives of animals. By moving 100km over the month of September, you’ll be directly contributing to animal welfare globally.
We are raising money to help fund our work, including the 2026 World Animal Day grant. Which will help another amazing organisation with its work to improve the welfare of animals.
