Crosskennan Lane Animal Sanctuary £5000 Drop
Get ready for one of the biggest steps of your life… Stepping back out over the top of the Europa Hotel, Belfast.
After the success of last year’s CLAS Charity Abseil, the charity is organising another big adrenaline rush to raise funds. Crosskennan,CLAS, is now recruiting volunteers for the Crosskennan £5000 Drop and aim to raise £5000 which will go towards the cost of building a field shelter for the animal welfare charity’s ponies.
Pictured right: Heather Thompson, a Crosskennan volunteer from Ballynure, who took part in last year’s event.
Dates are available for the 2013 abseil in April, May, and June, so if you are interested get in touch with CLAS for more details .
Participants are asked to pay a registration fee of £30 to book a place and to raise sponsorship amongst family, friends, work colleagues, employers or clubs.

Crosskennan Lane Animal Sanctuary, the first educational equine welfare charity to have been set up in N.Ireland, began as a response to an inadequate animal welfare system. Since being granted charitable status in 1996, it has brought equine welfare to the fore. It is committed to promoting awareness and knowledge of animal welfare issues throughout the province.
The charity is concerned with the rescue and rehabilitation of animals, in particular horses and ponies but also dogs, cats and chickens, that have been abused and neglected. At CLAS the animals are encouraged, wherever possible, to ‘earn their keep’ and following a comprehensive training period, many of our horses raise funds for those that are in need by participating in the Animals Helping People Programs, Animal Care Courses, Pony Parties, Own a Pony Experiences, Coffee Mornings & Afternoons and Community Events.
