A shopping centre turned into an animal sanctuary for a day as part of a charity event this week.

An orphaned lamb, chickens and a rabbit were among the farm animals at The Mall on Wood Green High Road as it announced Brooks Farm in Leyton as its chosen charity for 2015.

The Mall general manager Michael Thompson said: “We are delighted to announce Brooks Farm as our chosen charity partner for 2015.

“We look forward to welcoming the farm team and the animals back to The Mall Wood Green during the year. We are thrilled to be helping raise money for this great community farm.”
