More About Us

The Society was founded in 1947 by the late Bill & Marion Bryson to provide sanctuary and a home of rest for retired and ill-treated horses and ponies.

Over the years the society has expanded and now also provides a refuge for dogs, cats, goats and other animals.

The majority of the animals in our care may have been ill-treated, abandoned or their owner may have died leaving noone to care for them. Others may have simply been lost and their owner cannot be traced.

As a registered charity we receive no government funding and rely totally upon the donations of the public to continue our work.

Although our registered name is NCHPS, we are more commonly known as 'Brysons'. Our registered charity number is 227361.
