Our Team


The Trustees of PACT have overall responsibility of the charity and they meet once every month with the administrators who look after the day-to-day management of the sanctuary and funding.

Chris Rockingham - Co Founder of PACT

An extraordinary lady, who is responsible for overseeing the care and rehabilitation of all who come into PACT. She can be seen frequently wading in rivers and the like after some unfortunate swan or duck that has got into some kind of difficulty. She also gets involved in many of the fundraising events to enable the sanctuary to remain solvent.

George Rockingham - Co Founder of PACT

George deals predominantly with finance and marketing a daunting task, but also goes out on rescues and deals with emergencies coming in on a daily basis.

Without George and his wife Chris PACT Animal Sanctuary would not exist. Many animals and birds owe their life to them.

Together with a dedicated team of employees and volunteers they support and care for over 600 animals and birds in the Sanctuary at any given time.

PACT employs six animal care assistants.


Anne veterinary nurse with Valen



Ann takes care of the general veterinary needs of all the Sanctuary animals.
There are also about 30 occasional volunteers who help to care for the animals. In addition to the volunteers who just love animals, and want to help the work, they have some helpers experiencing health problems, including Stress, ME, MS, and Polio sufferers.

Some come just to sit with the cats for an hour or so, others at different times to walk dogs, and still others who spend two or three days a week at the sanctuary.

These people are absolutely essential to the running of the sanctuary and their help is greatly appreciated by the Sanctuary staff but most of all the animals they help.

Working and being with the animals has proven to be an excellent aid to help people regain self-confidence and learn to cope and relate to people.

Charlotte who is responsible for the dogs.

Charlotte works with the dogs and is responsible for their overall care and well being. She along with other staff deal with dogs who often come in fearful, sick and traumatised. This can make them difficult to deal with, but with kindness and patience Charlotte, other members of staff and volunteers gain their confidence and trust transforming them into dogs that are ready to face life again with a new owner in a new home.

Emma is an animal care assistant.

Emma helps in all areas of the sanctuary and is holding one of our more lively residents!

Others as a result of their work with the animals have found full time employment. In fact two of our current employed care assistants were students at PACT.
