Animal Charity Fair. NEXT FAIR SATURDAY 2ND NOVEMBER 2024
We held our third fair on Saturday 18th May 2024 at Hoghton Village Hall, Blackburn Old Road, Hoghton, PR5 0SG. yet again it was well attended and raised much needed funds for all the charities involved. The fair was open from 10.30 to 15.00 and there were stalls raising funds for various animals including cats, dogs, donkeys, hedgehogs, small furries etc. Ther was a fabulous "pick your own prize" raffle, tombolas, light refreshments etc. This is now a a twice yearly event in May and November each year. If you run a small, independent animal rescue/charity and would like a stall please contact us at fair@srpcc.co.uk or phone/text 07888 131315.
The charity began life as the welfare arm of the South Ribble Pet Cat Club and became a separate registered charity in October 1995. Whilst we did do some rescue work in the early years, sadly, due to lack of facilities and helpers we had to give that side up many years ago and we now concentrate on offering financial assistance with veterinary costs in certain circumstances. We mainly help to pay vet bills for stray cats in need of veterinary attention, but from time to time can also offer help to benefit claimants having difficulty paying vet bills for their cats and currently have a scheme offering financial help to pensioners struggling to pay vet bills for any pet.
Funding is primarily by donations plus whatever the Charity can raise by fundraising sales or events. Donations of any size are, therefore, always welcomed with grateful thanks and can be made by cheque or postal order made payable to SRPCC and sent to our main address- or by Paypal (carolw19581944@gmail.com) please pay as "Friends and Family" to avoid any fees being payable.
Another source of income for us is from the sales of Christmas cards, calendars and other "purrchandise" - mugs, coasters, Christmas tree baubles, mouse mats, keyrings etc. For the current catalogue please click here.
