She said the standalone centre would also mean families who have lost babies would avoid the extra trauma of passing others celebrating births.

She added: "Yesterday was a nightmare for us at the rescue. We have had a few encounters with a group of lads."We had to speak to them last week as they had taken off our electric fencing and had been coming into the field where our long stay horses are kept.

"We spoke to them and they were polite and said they wouldn't come on to the land again as we told them it frightened the horses."They have been back and this time have built a den in our field, dug fire pit holes, started fires, broke all our fencing, literally smashed it up and cut it down."She added: "We are devastated. They have left such a mess.
