A rabbit rescue shelter that has functioned without running water or electricity for more than 20 years has launched a fundraising initiative to change its venue. Rabbit Residence Rescue in Great Chishill, Cambridgeshire, is currently home to about 100 unwanted and abandoned bunnies. Every day, staff bring water onto the site via water carriers, as the shelter uses about 300 litres a week. Lea Facey, the rescue centre's manager, said volunteers and part-time workers hope to raise £120,000 to move to a new well-equipped building in Bygrave near Baldock, Hertfordshire. Ms Facey said: "We are moving to get better facilities, largely so we can help more rabbits." The rescue centre has been encouraging people to take part in the Hop, Skip and Jump online challenge to raise money.
