A charity has made an urgent appeal for help so it can carry on rescuing animals across the county.

Animals In Need has been coming to the rescue of animals of all shapes and sizes for 30 years.

While it has always relied on support from the public, the charity based at Pine Tree Farm in Little Irchester has never needed people's support as much as it does now.

In an emotional video message posted by Roy and Annie Marriott, they explain how urgent the situation is, including having to lay off two people and furlough two more and leaving them on a skeleton staff.

Annie, who is manager of Animals In Need, said: "We are so grateful for all the money you have sent in to us, but at the moment we have hardly any money coming in and still £5,000 a week that needs paying out.

"It's a really stressful time for us and for us to carry on rescuing, we need you to keep on supporting us."
