Pennine Pen Animal Rescue

Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO was founded in 2001 by Michael Waugh, driven by a lifelong passion for giving abandoned and unwanted animals a second chance at a loving home. What began in a small terraced property in Hathershaw grew steadily, leading to the purchase of its current rescue centre on Honeywell Lane, Oldham, in 2009. Over the years, the charity has continued to develop, modernising its facilities to provide the best possible care for animals while they are in rescue. Registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, Pennine Pen also operates several charity shops across Oldham, which play a vital role in funding its work. The charity’s success is built on the dedication of its staff and volunteers, alongside the ongoing generosity of supporters and the local community.
