‼️ A Message to Our Supporters & Fellow Charities ‼️
Over the past three years, Pumpkin & Friends Charity has been repeatedly targeted by a small group of individuals intent on causing disruption. As happens each winter, this activity has increased again.
These contacts are made using fake names, email addresses, and phone numbers. We are aware of the alias used — the initials J.G. — and the IP address involved is currently under investigation.
This individual has contacted businesses, sponsors, supporters, and even other charities with serious false allegations about our organisation, our trustees, and our volunteers. Sadly, we are aware that we are not the only animal charity experiencing this behaviour.
We are targeted out of jealousy and hate — because we are a fast-growing, successful charity that is hardworking, transparent, and proactive in everything we do.
Team Pumpkin is a large group of passionate animal lovers — professional, dedicated, and committed to doing good.
We want to reassure everyone that we are working closely with Lincolnshire Police, and a formal investigation is ongoing. We continue to collect evidence and will pursue this matter fully.
If you are another charity, organisation, or individual who has been targeted by someone using the name or initials J.G., please reach out to us. Your information could support the wider investigation.
