Our Founder Jacquie Neilson was awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year’s Honours list this year. Earlier this month, Jacquie was presented with her medal at Windsor Castle, by her favourite, The Princess Royal. Jacquie, her husband Steve, daughter Annie and her partner Jack, had an unforgettable day.
Princess Anne and Jacquie chatted about the state of dogs and cats in rescue today, and chuckled over a breed they both love – the English Bull Terrier.
The Neilson’s have always loved and tried to help animals, so much so that 22 years ago, Jacquie started “RAIN RESCUE” and over the years, Rain has helped thousands of animals. Sadly, rescue is still a very tough environment, with too many broken hearts left without homes. The charity is still struggling to forever help more.
2024 looks to be a very eventful year for both Rain Rescue and the Neilson’s – so watch this space for even more announcements but for now – we thought you would like to see this very proud moment in the history of animal welfare and Yorkshire.
A very proud moment indeed.
When you buy a gift for a Rain Rescue animal, it will help us to provide the care the cats and dogs in our centre need.
Treat them to a cosy place to sleep, a treat and a toy, or nutritious food to keep them strong. It’s a great way to donate, thank you.
Founded in 2002, our charity has saved the lives of thousands of the cats and dogs most at risk in and around Yorkshire. Our rescue centre provides the space and support needed for these abandoned animals to recover, thrive and find a loving home.
