Animal Welfare Community Online

Join The Raft ®

What is 'The Raft' ?

Kelp is one of the best ecosystem engineers in the world. It provides shelter, habitat, and food, while creating oxygen for the surrounding waters. Sea otters, cormorants, leopard sharks, seals, fish and many more species are dependent on kelp to survive and thrive. Their tall fronds become canopies on the water’s surface and these fronds act as a raft. Acting like its namesake, this essential part of the marine environment, Kelp Social offers the same sanctuary for animals above the water. Kelp Social aims to create a space online that will better the lives of all species globally. Join Kelp Social and be The Raft. This surface will strengthen, but we need you. Shaped by a community of passionate and conscious animal welfare advocates, ‘The Raft’ is a collection of blogs about all things animal-related. These blogs are collaborating with a range of the best animal companies and charities, and written by you.

Why should I join ‘Kelp Social’ ?

Not all social media networks have a social conscience, but Kelp Social is changing that trend. If you want to learn about a wide variety of animal welfare topics, discover tried and trusted animal-friendly brands, or simply join a community of like-minded friends, with free blogging opportunities and sponsorship-led memberships available, don’t hesitate to sign up and jump onto The Raft today. We live in a society of readily available information, in seconds you can find out the answer to any question. However, information on conservation, wildlife, pets and cruelty-free products has not yet been unified under one umbrella. As we become increasingly curious about these topics, information about animal welfare needs to be in an easily accessible place. Kelp Social is this place.

About Kelp Social

My name is Mollie Kerr and I am the CEO & Founder of Kelp Social.
My life has always been dedicated to animals. I studied Animal Management at Merrist Wood College, Guildford and later studied Pet Shop Management as an initial step to improve pet welfare. Following my studies, I worked in a pet shop but quickly realised that my goals and passions needed to be shared via another, further-reaching medium. Over the last few years, I have been working to find a way to help every animal species. It is a responsibility that has felt daunting at times but my commitment to animals will never waver.

Kelp Social is a social media platform specifically for animal lovers, providing a unique combination of carefully selected brands and charities, with like-minded bloggers sharing their stories and benefitting from sponsors. Social media is such an influential tool and I know that together we can build a compassionate community with the opportunity to make a difference.

If you want to help build this community, then start your membership here. You can blog free of charge and connect with other users. If you sign up for a membership, you will be able to grow your account, earning a level-up when you receive likes, comments and shares, as well as rewards from our exclusively animal-friendly sponsors.

If you have any ideas about how Kelp Social can continue to grow, or if you know of any animal welfare organisations, charities or brands that would be a good fit for our community, then don’t hesitate to contact hello@kelpsocial.co.uk and join the revolution!
