This site has been created in loving memory of Philip Tattersall, who died on February 10th 2023 after a short illness. For many years he and his beloved wife Mavis supported The Brooke, as they both had a deep commitment to the welfare of animals, and horses and donkeys in particular. For some years after Mavis died in 2001, Philip led the North East Supporters Group, raising substantial funds in all sorts of ways, including regular collections at events such as Durham Miners Gala. Donations to The Brooke in his memory would be much appreciated.
