Thanks
March 4th 1990 - March 4th 2010.
20 Years of Caring - and Counting.
When the Charity started in March 1990, none of us had any idea that it would come to involve so many wonderful people. Yes, there ARE a lot of absolutely fantastic human beings out there and we have had the pleasure of having been in contact with a lot of them.
These wonderful people have: rescued animals, raised funds on street corners, stood outside supermarkets, home checked potential new homes, stuffed envelopes, taken animals to the vets, sent in donations, sold raffle tickets, donated an item of food, completed a standing order form, organised quizzes, mucked out, written letters and taken on a rescue - to name but a selection of tasks. Every one is a STAR and has made it possible to achieve so much.
(Our first) Twenty years has shown just what a huge task animal rescue and welfare is, but if its "done right" the reward of seeing the animal(s) cared for are fantastic. So THANK YOU ONE and ALL
Saying "Thank You" now is not an exemption for the personal appreciation the Charity has for your support, but there may be the odd occasion when we miss the personal "Thanks" that you deserve, at such times please forgive us. We appreciate everything done for the Charity - for the community and FOR the animals.
On behalf of the Charity Trustees. THANK YOU.
