WE NEED A COMPOUND FOR OUR DOGS!

Can you help us please?
Not a lot of people know but we use a private boarding kennel
to house our dogs.
Unfortunately there is nowhere secure to let the dogs off lead.
We need this facility to train and socialise the dogs,
to interact and play with them, to introduce prospective adopters dogs
to our dogs and for the dogs to be off lead to burn off energy
built up in the kennels!
The owners of the kennels have agreed that we can build
a secure area on the field but we have to supply the materials.
We have the volunteers to build it but we don't have the materials
and this is where you come in-we hope.

We are pleading for someone to kindly donate either
chicken or sheep fencing and wooden steaks,
it would need to be a minimum of 6ft high.
It doesn't matter to us if it's used or new,
we would just be very grateful to have some!

Like the national charity it receives no government funding
and only a small contribution from HQ RSPCA each year.
It is an "all volunteer" branch with no salaried staff,
no offices and no RSPCA badged animal facilities.
We rely solely on doing our own fundraising and donations
from members of the public.

If you can help us please call our message service
01625 669620

leaving your name and phone number.
Thank You.

RSPCA Week, 27 April - 3 May 09

The RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton Branch
is pleased to announce a marvellous grand total of
£3952.51
that was raised during a week of collecting at both
Tesco stores in Macclesfield (Hibel Road)
and Congleton for RSPCA Week, 27 April - 3 May 09.
This is a wonderful achievement that was reached by having
a great team of volunteers,
which the branch would like to thank enormously.
Everyone’s hard work, flexibility and commitment
meant that we were able to increase the number of shifts
this year at both stores
and thus increase the amount we raised.
This is, of course, also thanks to the very generous
donations from members of the public
at such a financially difficult time.
So I hope everyone is feeling very proud
of what their hard work and /or kind donations
have achieved for this branch and ultimately the animals.
Not only did the branch benefit financially
but a few rehoming leads were created
and new volunteers recruited.
Overall, a very successful week!
Final thanks to the Tesco stores and staff involved.
The branch is always in need of more volunteers.
We are currently trying to recruit people who
have the dedication to animal welfare
and time to fulfil various committee roles,
such as Volunteer Co-ordinator and Chair.
If you are interested in helping, at any level,
then please get in contact,
email:enquiries@rspca-macclesfield.org.uk
or phone: 01625 669620.
Many thanks from
Denise Smith & Denise Page (Co-ordinators of RSPCA Week)
on behalf of the RSPCA Macclesfield,
SE Cheshire & Buxton Branch
