Don’t just take our word for it. We have some wonderful supporters who have already decided to leave us a legacy in their will.
Meet John and Jackie
John and Jackie Panczak have supported Bransby Horses since the late 1980s. During their decades-long support, they’ve witnessed the charity grow and evolve and knew our charity’s founder, Mr Peter Hunt, very well.
The Panczaks have supported us in so many ways over the years and made the decision to leave a gift in their Will after their experience of fostering a companion from Bransby Horses for their horse Charlie, following the passing of their beloved Ben. Having seen first-hand the care and dedication provided to every horse here, they understand the true value that their lasting legacy will make. “We know that Bransby Horses gives every equine the very best chance of a secure and happy future. Whether this amazing care is at Bransby Horses itself or with its network of fosterers, the best interests of the horse or donkey are put first. By creating a legacy in our Wills we know that we are helping to build a better future for our equine friends.”

Meet Eileen
In January 2020, Eileen contributed to our emergency response to devastating floods, allowing us to move many equines to safety.
Eileen passed away in November 2018. Eileen kindly remembered Bransby Horses in her Will. Gifts in Wills help us rescue and care for hundreds of equines every single year.
Meet Christine
Long-term supporter of Bransby Horses, Christine Mason, sadly passed away in January 2021, yet her legacy lives on thanks to the gift she left in her Will.
A true advocate for animal welfare all her life, Christine Mason very kindly created a legacy of £5,000 in her Will to Bransby Horses. This generous gift provided vital funding when our fundraising income was at an all-time low due to site closures and lack of community events as a result of the pandemic. Christine’s gift has enabled us to continue with our rescue and welfare work during a time of instability for the charity – a lifeline in a time of need.
Christine was born in Birmingham in 1935, and showed a passion for animals early on, owning several pets from childhood. She rescued lurchers and greyhounds from appalling conditions throughout her life and provided them with a secure and loving home to spend the rest of their lives.
Despite having a busy career working for Cadbury’s Bournville Factory and later working as lecturer with Birmingham City Council, Christine’s passion for animals only grew with time. She joined several established animal welfare organisations and proved to be an outstandingly effective fundraiser, helping to raise thousands for various charities over the years.
Christine even set up her own charity, Canine Friends, and held car boot sales, raffles and open garden days at her house with help from friends and family. The funds Christine raised were distributed between various animal charities near and far, including Bransby Horses and a charity which aims to prevent the abuse of bears for their bile in Asia.
Sadly, in Christine’s final years she suffered from vascular dementia, but her love of animals never wavered and after her passing, she left instructions for her estate to be divided between several animal charities, including ours.
The £5,000 Christine left to Bransby Horses means the legacy she created will always live on as she helps us to provide a second chance to so many equines in need. You too can Create Your Legacy and help shape the charity’s future for generations to come, just like Christine.
