SUPPORTERS
This page is currently being created.
It is a page for shedding a little spotlight on both some AWESOME businesses who kindly support us, and on events that we have run (or are running) with their kind support.
​
Keep a regular eye on this page as we are adding new content whenever we get time!
​
SECTION 1 - EVENTS & NEWS
This first section is here to showcase events where our lovely supporters have kindly given of their time/expertise to help us fundraise or raise awareness...
Known as ‘Two Faced Twins’, Stella and Gemma are identical twin artists who create striking artwork and homeware for contemporary homes. Working from their studio on the Sussex coast, the twins collaborate on each piece of artwork. Stella creates their initial illustrations and Gemma works on them digitally, manipulating them and adding colour. Inspired by street scenery and architecture, featuring local scenes and vibrant colours, they sell their work online and in their busy seafront gallery in Worthing, West Sussex.
These award-winning young artists launched a range of dog breed prints earlier this summer (2025) and one of our volunteers knew the perfect way for Arundawn and TFT to collaborate!
So we approached the Twins and bravely asked if they might consider donating a dog breed portrait to Arundawn so that it could be raffled off to raise funds for the rescue.
We secretly knew that the girls are huge dog lovers and so we felt that we were hopefully 'barking up the right tree' by asking them...
...and they said yes!
So - in July this year we ran our first 'virtual event' via our new Art for Arundawn Facebook group/community...
...we sold tickets to over 170 people, and the Twins helped us to achieve reaching over £500 raised within just the first 2 months of us creating this new online group/community!
The winner was drawn and the lucky person is now in direct discussion with the Twins - which is even more exciting because they actually are using their winning raffle prize to turn their win into a unique commission of one of their very best friends dogs - as a surprise gift for an upcoming big birthday!
We can't wait to see how the commission turns out, and we hope to be able to share the winning piece on here too so WATCH THIS SPACE...
THANKS SO MUCH Stelle & Gemma for your kindness!
Your work is so vibrant, so full of sunshine, and we especially love the dog breed portrait range and your new 3 launches you just made at your recent summer event too!
UPDATE 18th August:
We can't share this fully publicly yet because the fundraiser winner has just posted this winning piece to the lucky future recipient!
But - we can reveal that this commission has been made for a 'big' birthday, and to celebrate 20+ years of friendship! What an amazing thing to happen with the win!
Whilst we cant reveal the final piece just yet here's an incredible inside 'reveal', just for Arundawn supporters/followers, of the 2 pieces that they have created for the winner to choose from!
I wonder which one you would choose? (I think my favourite is the 2nd one)...
Once the item has been gifted we will update this page with the final painting and, if the winner is happy for us too, share the images that these were created from as well - so you can see just how INCREDIBLY WELL the Twins have captured this very-well-loved pups personality!...
Talk about too good to choose from!!!....
Emma Butler
Emma found our Art for Arundawn Facebook group, joined, and then (unsurpisingly as her work is STUNNING) very quickly got her first commission from an Arundawn supporter.
This went down so well that Emma then very generously agreed that we could raffle off a dog portrait, made by her, and this was our August'25 online fundraising 'event' that we ran over on our 'Arundawn All about the dogs' fundraising Facebook group.
Emma's kind 'donation' raised us a whopping £420!
How PAWSOME is that!
Emma and the lucky winner are now in touch and we will reveal the winning/resulting pawtrait here on this page aswell so watch this space for that in the future!
Aswell as the raffle - Emma has also very kindly agreed to donate £5 for every commission/order that she gets that is created via/made referencing Arundawn too - isn't that brilliant!
Thanks so much Emma!
It's a pleasure to have you as part of our growing group of businesses doing their part to help our furry friends within the 'Arundawn support community'.
SECTION 2 - ongoing support
This second section is currently being created to show supporters who offer an 'ongoing' or continual offering to Arundawn - e.g. business who have very kindly/generously agreed to donate a percentage of any sales made as a result of/recommended by/referencing 'Arundawn' to us on a regular basis.
As you can imagine with the cost of living crisis regular ongoing donations are becoming more & more important to rescues like ours so if you are shopping for gifts, for a special occasion, for Xmas, or even if you 'just' feel like treating yourself - then please do check out these WONDERFUL businesses because then you can both shop AND raise money for Arundawn - a total #winwin.
Thank you!
Nicky at Rooted in Craft is one of our wonderful makers within our 'Art for Arundawn' community.
She makes gorgeous, bespoke pyrography gifts - from chopping boards to coasters; from pizza platters to dice; from signs to cutlery caddies - the list goes on!
We've shown just a tiny sample here, mainly of animal-related goodies, but there's a HUGE range of items available and Nicky has very kindly agreed to donate 10% of all sales referencing/created via Arundawn media to us at the Dog Rescue - how great is that!
Please see link below (green button) to take you to her Facebook page - thank you!....
COMING UP NEXT....
We have approaching 30 makers all very generously offering to donate a % of sales made to Arundawn - and we will be adding them over the coming weeks.
Our website administrator is off on hols for a couple of weeks but do keep an eye on this page for a full write up, and the details of the % donated by each maker, to be added onto this page later in August/early September - thank you!
In the meantime if you contact them and reference 'Arundawn' we're quite sure they'd be happy to help!
THANK YOU
