Brooke action for working horses, donkeys and mules
Hannah Russell is a youth ambassador for the Brooke charity, she has a specific focus on engaging young people between the ages of 8 and 25, in her role Hannah helps Brooke grow its profile within schools and inspire more young people to engage with the charity’s goals.
Hannah has been a supporter of Brooke’s work for many years, including becoming an every horse remembered ambassador in 2018, supporting a campaign which marked 100 years since the end of ww1 and honoured the 8 million horses, donkeys and mules who died. Hannah was named ‘Ambassador – youth focus’ in early 2019, and in August 2019 of that year Hannah travelled to Kenya to see Brooke’s work, whilst there she visited one of the school projects that Brooke supports and met families affected by the donkey skin trade crisis.
Hannah joins a roster of Brooke Ambassadors including Charlotte Dujardin and Richard Waygood, and will help grow our profile among young supporters through appearances at events and via her social media channels.
Looking ahead, Brooke and Hannah will continue to collaborate on videos, books and digital content to raise awareness of the tough conditions experienced by working horses, donkeys and mules around the world today. Brooke works with owners, governments and local policy makers to make sustainable improvements to the lives of these animals and the people who depend on them.
