In the charity's own words
Friend is a farm animal sanctuary with nearly 200 animals. They find their way here through being unwanted, abused, neglected or abandoned. The sanctuary offers a safe, violence-free home to chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, cows, goats, sheep, pigs and one alpaca who thinks he is a sheep. We are on a 10 acre site nestled in between the orchards and hop farms of East Peckham in rural Kent.
