How You Can Help
Wanted!
Bark for our paddocks. Are you having your hedges or trees trimmed? Please ask the firm if they could deliver the shredded bark to Gables Farm so our dogs can still play in the paddocks in the winter!
A DJ to donate their time at our Halloween party on Wednesday 30th October.
Helping
There are a variety of ways in which you can help the Charity. Perhaps you can spare some time to become a volunteer, we particularly need help with fundraising and events. Or could you make a donation?
We recycle a number of items and can accept blankets, foreign coins, stamps, postcards, mobile phones, medals, jewellery print and fax cartridges.
Don’t have time for a pet – why not consider sponsoring our long term dog or sponsoring a cat or dog pen.

INSIST ON USING REAL STAMPS
It is time that stamp collectors and stamp users fought back. We are not given the option normally by the Post Office. They want us all to use the computer generated white label. But if you ask nicely you'll be able to get good commemoratives and possibly even a circular date stamp! Depending on service used. This will in the long run help our vast number of charities raise money by improving the content of the stamps donated to them.
Stamps n All (Sole Trader), which means that all goods donated for Charities are paid, but the sole trader profits from goods donated.
