RSPCA WEEK

Mon 28 April – Sun 4 May 08

A fantastic £3237.13 was raised during RSPCA Week,
28 April - 04 May 2008.
So thank you to all the shoppers and staff at
the Macclesfield (Hibel Rd) & Congleton Tesco stores
for their kind donations of money and pet supplies - your generosity and support is quite overwhelming!
A big thank you also goes to every volunteer that helped.
This branch is lucky to have such a great team
of reliable volunteers who enabled the collections to run
so well throughout the week at both stores.
If you want to be part of that team then please get in touch!
Special thanks to:
-Michael Dales Photography in Macclesfield
for the use of their display stand;
-Marlborough Primary School in Tytherington
for the use of their table;
Both of the above items were used to display our literature,
thus allowing us to raise the profile of our branch
even more at the Macclesfield store.
-Wilkinsons store in Leek
who ran their own collection of pet supplies which they kindly gave to us.

APRIL

CONGLETON STREET COLLECTION

Sat 5th April 08
A massive thank you to all those involved in raising this wonderful amount,

especially since we had a few things going against us
that day - bad weather in the morning,
which thankfully brightened up by the afternoon
but that's when the Grand National was taking place!
Both these factors had the unwanted effect
of taking shoppers off the street.
I think some of us (me included) had underestimated
how cold it was going to be that day.

Poor Pat Bennet was physically shaking at the end
of her shift.
This only goes to show how committed our volunteers
are to animal welfare,

so once again thank you for your support.
Also, a special thank you to Francine
(Denise Page's daughter),
who did a wonderful job for the first time volunteering for us.

The weather might not have brought a smile to people's faces
but i'm sure Francine,
wearing her big Micky Mouse ears, did:)

Thank you to all our volunteers for there help,
and the People of Congleton for there Donations.

MARCH

SANDBACH MARKET DAY COLLECTION

Thursday 6 March 2008
bucket rattler day produces results

A group of branch volunteers descended on Sandwich last Thursday,

its traditional market day over the years,
to seek donations from those out shopping in the town.
Denise Smith who organised the street collection was aware
this weekday event was going to be a challenge in terms of
finding people to hold buckets.

"Many of our volunteers were, of course, at work
but in the end I did manage to find just enough people.

The day saw £267.99 kindly donated by those supporting
their local RSPCA branch.
Thank you everyone whether collecting or giving!

JANUARY

ALSAGER STREET COLLECTION JUST GREAT

Thanks go out to the people of the town

Saturday 12 January saw a dedicated band of branch volunteers '
on duty' in Alsager to raise funds for the welfare of branch animals,
an essential role when we have to raise those funds entirely within
the branch area.
As the photographs show those collecting were happy
and in good form, especally as local people were just so generous.
The main collecting point was outside the new Sainsbury shop. £350.61 was given across the day. Thank you Alsager!
