Pennine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) began in 2007 when founder Sue Curran started taking in unwanted cats and dogs from her flat, before growing into a registered charity in 2014 with the support of like-minded people in Todmorden. PAWS has since supported animals and communities across a wide catchment area including the Calder Valley, Halifax, Burnley, Rochdale, Saddleworth, and the outskirts of Oldham. Known for its strong community presence, the charity has provided rehoming services, advice, neutering support, food bank assistance, and fundraising through local events and markets. In 2024, following careful review and challenges securing a permanent site, PAWS transitioned to a foster-based model to reduce overheads and remain sustainable. This change allows the charity to continue helping animals in need while staying closely connected to the communities it serves.
