Merlin's Miles!
We’re so pleased to announce our 10km Woodlands Walk challenge has raised £1683!
Thank you to everyone who completed a challenge – every single penny raised will go towards our running costs and helping animals in-need.
11 incredible supporters took part in the walk and many many more people sponsored them. We’ll continue to post updates on the the progress of all of the animals in our care to keep you up to date with what your money is making happen. The link is still live if you wish to donate!
THANK YOU!
We would like to thank Pet Plan Charitable Trust so much for the £5000 grant they awarded us to help towards our veterinary costs. We have had our highest ever intake numbers recently and unfortunately with that we have also incurred increased vet fees also. The nature of our work means we are not able to eliminate the cost of vet fees and so any and all help we receive to help us pay for them is so very much appreciated.
Pets at Home Local Charity of the Year!
A big THANK YOU to the Preston Docks and Captiol Centre stores for nominating us as their local charity of the year 2021!
