New Animal Rescue And Rehoming Centre In South East London
By Celia Hammond Animal Trust
LONDON, 16 March 2026 - Celia Hammond Animal Trust has embarked on a project to build a dedicated, and much-needed, rescue and rehoming centre adjacent to its existing veterinary clinic in Lewisham, South East London. And on Saturday 11 April 2026 the charity will be holding an Open Day in Lewisham for members of the public to learn more about the project.
“Please join us at 233-235 Lewisham Way, London, SE4 1UY, on the afternoon of 11 April 2026 for a guided tour of our existing veterinary clinic and learn about our plans for a new animal rescue and rehoming centre in nearby Friendly Street. You will also have the opportunity to meet some of our rescued cats,” said Naomi Sheen, Trustee. “Whether you're already a supporter of our charity or are interested in our work, this is a great opportunity to find out more about the Celia Hammond Animal Trust.”
Once operational, Celia Hammond Animal Trust’s new rescue and rehoming centre in Friendly Street will secure the future of the charity’s Lewisham hub for decades to come.
The Open Day is a ticketed event with guided tours scheduled throughout the afternoon - admission is free and donations of cat food are welcomed. Tickets can be booked online at https://celiahammondanimaltrust-lewisham.eventbrite.co.uk.
