Before you get started

What should I wish?

Your ideas can come from the work of the RSPCA, other organisations, or from your own learning.

Before writing your idea, think about whether it should focus on 'animals', 'people' or the 'planet'.

At times, before we can make animals happier, we have to inspire people or make a healthier world.

Extra challenge: ask other people what their wish would be and send us your list.

Instructions

Writing your wish

Keep it positive

Phrase your wishes with a positive spin.

Rather than saying ‘we want people to stop being cruel towards animals’, try to reframe it as 'we want people to be compassionate towards animals'.

What impact will your wish create?

Think of the ripple effect you create with small acts of kindness. What impact will you make for animals, people, or the planet if your wish comes true?

Here are some examples:   

My wish coming true means dogs can live happily in a loving home.   
If my wish came true, all dogs could lead a healthy life.
