History
Founded by Miss M Raymonde-Hawkins, Raystede began life as a rescue and sanctuary in 1952 in her cottage and back garden. The rescue now covers 43 acres and cares for over 2,000 animals a year and includes a shop and café.
The centre was forced to temporarily close to the general public in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
Raystede on TV
In 2019, Channel 4 filmed "Animal Rescue Live" on site at the sanctuary for a week-long series.[2][3] The show was hosted by Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, Kate Quilton and Steve Jones.
