She added: “I would like to thank everyone who donated and to the drop off points of Heath Vets and Cootes Vets plus A Coombs Pet Centre in Hove.

“Like myself, Raystede was truly amazed at everyone’s kind generosity and the appeal which was now in its sixth year has smashed all previous records.”

Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare, based in Ringmer, Lewes, has been caring for animals for more than 60 years.

Every year, it rescues, re-homes or provides sanctuary for more than 1,500 animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, horses and donkeys.
