Worth It Animal Rescue
Charity 1207458
Overview
Summary
Worth It Animal Rescue appears to occupy a distinctive position between animal welfare and crisis support for animal owners in the West Midlands. Its stated role is not limited to rescuing and rehoming animals: it also seeks to prevent hardship from separating people from their animals by offering financial, practical and boarding support. The organisation’s remit spans domestic animals and less commonly served non-domestic species, suggesting a potentially specialised, cross-sector role linking welfare intervention, public education and poverty relief.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- No direct evidence identifies any current service delivery, animal-boarding location, rehoming activity, public education activity or partner-delivered activity within a Birmingham ward or the City Centre.
- The charity's stated objects specify the West Midlands, which reasonably indicates an intended regional remit, but this is not sufficient to establish where it currently operates in practice or whether Birmingham is included.
- The Charity Commission record and 2025 trustees' report identify a principal office/contact address in Lapworth, Solihull. The report confirms that non-domestic animals were in the charity's care, but does not confirm that this address is an animal-care or boarding site.
- No material partnerships, satellite sites, referral arrangements or delivery venues were identified in the available authoritative sources.
- A generic accounting-policy statement describes the charity as making grants for broad charitable purposes; this conflicts with the more specific trustees' report description of maintaining boarded non-domestic animals and does not provide usable geographic evidence.
Additional evidence needed
- A current official service description or annual report identifying the locations where animals are boarded, cared for, treated, rehomed or collected.
- Confirmation from the organisation of whether it currently accepts cases, provides owner support or undertakes education activity in Birmingham, and if so in which wards or venues.
- A current list of veterinary, boarding, foster, rescue, referral or rehoming partners and the places in which those arrangements operate.
- Confirmation of whether the Lapworth principal-office address is also an operational animal-care site, rather than solely an administrative or correspondence address.

Observations
Animal welfare is paired with owner crisis prevention
The available evidence suggests the organisation treats animal welfare and human financial hardship as connected issues. Its model may aim both to protect animals already at risk and to prevent avoidable relinquishment or neglect when owners face a temporary crisis.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the organisation from a rescue service focused only on animals after harm has occurred. It may be an important bridge between animal welfare provision and local crisis-support networks.
Show evidence
“The prevention or relief of poverty is pursued through financial and practical support with boarding to owners of domestic and non-domestic animals who are temporarily unable to care for their animals due to crisis or financial hardship.”
Source:Charity Commission“The charity promotes humane behaviour by providing care, protection, treatment and security for animals in need.”

A potentially unusual focus on non-domestic animals
Its explicit inclusion of alpacas, chickens, ducks, sheep, geese and goats may indicate capability or intended provision for animals that can fall between conventional pet rescue, livestock services and farm-animal welfare systems.
Why it matters
This could make the organisation a specialist resource within the regional animal-welfare landscape, particularly where smallholders or owners of non-domestic animals encounter welfare or financial crises.
Show evidence
“Non-domestic animals named in the objects include alpacas, chickens, ducks, sheep, geese and goats.”

Education may be part of a preventative strategy
Public education in animal care and welfare appears to complement direct intervention, suggesting an interest in reducing future harm rather than only responding to immediate cases.
Why it matters
This points to a potentially longer-term civic role: sharing practical knowledge may strengthen owners’ ability to care safely for animals and reduce repeat welfare crises.
Show evidence
“The charity's objects include providing education to the public in the care and welfare of such animals.”
Source:Charity Commission“How the charity helps is recorded as providing advocacy, advice and information.”

Remaining uncertainties
