In 1974 the group recruited Alfred and Betty Wainwright.
A.W. Was elected Chairman of the organisation and under his guidance, Animal Rescue Cumbria was registered as a Charity.
Through the generosity of A.W. a fund was established with a view to creating a Rescue Centre.
Under the guidance of A.W. Kapellan was bought in 1984 and the following year was set up as a Rescue Centre.
From humble beginnings, Kapellan is now a fine example of its kind, and a place A.W. was proud to be associated with.
