In today’s episode I talk to To Nicky Stevens. Nicky is the Founder and CEO of the UK based charity International Aid for the Protection and Welfare of Animals and one of its exciting fundraising initiatives Adventures for Animals. Nicky’s inspiration to set up the charity came from her background as a Veterinary Nurse. She first established the UK charity in 2009 to be able to provide a better future for animals in need.  Since then, she and her team have done incredible work rescuing tens of thousands of cats and dogs across two continents. What began as a desire to help one stray dog in the rainforests of Borneo, has since expanded to helping over 30,000 dogs and cats who have needed veterinary support. Currently she is focusing on three core projects in Borneo, Penang Island and Romania, with a range of additional support programs worldwide. Nicky shares a glimpse of her life and lifelong passion of helping animals worldwide, along with her adventures around the world, from climbing the highest peaks and reaching Everest Base Camp, to travelling through the jungles of Borneo, to the forthcoming trip to Kilimanjaro and preparing for the vastness of the Sahara, all in the name of fundraising for her charity. A story that ignites human compassion and gives a rare look into the world of conservation and saving animals lives.
