Former TOWIE star Lauren Pope has joined forces with PETA to donate a number of fur coats, given to the charity by people who had a change of heart about wearing fur, to the Hopefield Animal Sanctuary.

The sanctuary will use the discarded garments as bedding for the animals it cares for, some of whom are sick and injured. Pope commented 'We can't bring back the animals who died for the coats, or change the fact that they were killed in horrible ways, but we can bring a little warmth to animals in need. I want to encourage people to take advantage of PETA's fur donation programme. Your kindness will go a long way!'.
