🍯 We’re almost out of one of the few things that truly saves lives
Medical-grade Manuka honey isn’t just a treatment — it’s often the turning point between life and death for the severely injured animals we rescue.Its powerful antibacterial and healing properties help close deep wounds, prevent infection, reduce pain, and allow fragile bodies to regenerate. We have watched it bring animals back from the edge when nothing else would.But our supply is now critically low.Every day, animals arrive needing emergency care… and every day, our stock gets smaller.If you can, please help us replenish this essential lifeline.If you are in the UK you can send these items directly to our charity shop:
99 Station Road, Chingford, London E4 7BUIf you are visiting the sanctuary and want to bring some of these jars or tubes of medical grade honey with you they will be very gratefully received.it is crucial to verify the authenticity and grade of the honey by checking for the UMF™ or MGO rating on the packaging. Look for high UMF™ ratings (e.g., 15+, 20+) or MGO equivalents (e.g., 510+, 820+) for wound care, burns, and skin issues. These ratings indicate the honey's antibacterial potency.
The following links take you to Amazon UK but you will be able to purchase medical grade manuka honey from other suppliers as well.
