Hannah Dale, founder and creative maestro of Wrendale Designs, put her art where her heart is to lead a charge to raise money for the WWF Australia Appeal to fund emergency care for injured wildlife in Australia caused by the ongoing bushfires.
To raise the money, Hannah painted a brand new watercolour of a mother and baby koala that she is to give away through a draw, open to all those who make a donation, no matter how big or small, through a dedicated JustGiving page. (www.justgiving.com/fundraising/wrendale-designs)
In less than a week since the site opened, over £20,000 has been pledged for the charity cause.
“Myself and everyone at Wrendale are just heartbroken to see the devastating effect the bushfires are having on lives, homes and animals in Australia,” said Hannah. “It’s such a dire situation. I spent time on a national park in Queensland during my zoology degree and so I just keep thinking about all the wildlife and rural communities we knew.”
One donor will be picked at random to receive the original painting.
