Available this year directly from The Wainwright Society

The Society has produced a Calendar for sale for 2023. The calendar includes images of the Lake District contributed by members and the proceeds this year will be donated to Animal Rescue Cumbria. In 1974, Alfred and Betty Wainwright joined the group, and it was largely though their efforts, with the proceeds of sales of the Pictorial Guides and other books being donated to the Charity, that the current site, Kapellan was purchased in 1984. Some 350 cats and dogs are rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed every year.

The shelter was an example of best practice in its early years but is now in urgent need of renovation and updating to continue to help animals and build on the legacy left by Alfred and Betty. The proceeds of this year’s calendar will directly support the renovation of the kennels and cattery and help the charity to continue to carry out its work for the next 50 years.

The calendar has raised in excess of £150,000 for good causes since its inception.
