Grovehill Animal Trust

General information

Grovehill Animal Trust formed a committee and became a registered charity in November 2011, taking over from Grovehill Animal Shelter which was set up in 1997 to help homeless animals in Omagh and the surrounding areas. To date together we have saved over 10,000 unwanted, neglected and abandoned animals.

Grovehill Charity Shop, 1 Foundry Lane Omagh, was opened in March 2012 and has been a huge success thanks to the tireless work and dedication of the shop manager, volunteers and the generosity of the general public in donating items to sell. The shop has provided the shelter with a constant source of income essential to progress the work required.

The trust has moved on in so many ways from its beginnings. In November 2013 we took the next step in our overall strategy by moving into our new site and submitting plans to build a bricks and mortar shelter that will one day be open to the public, ensuring we can grow and develop the trust for years to come. There have been many changes over the years at the shelter but our core values have never changed and the welfare of the animals remains at the heart of what we do every day.
