Thank you to everyone who donated to our animal charity fundraising events in school which took place in February-March. We raised a total of £602!
As you will be aware, our intention was to send the money to charities helping animals in Australia as a result of the bushfires. However, we have since been made aware of the huge problems for local animals as a result of the current Coronavirus Pandemic and the resulting Lockdown.
In February, as part of their Creature Features topic, Key Stage 2 welcomed “Into The Wild Animal Encounters” into school. The children got to meet several of the animals including Sansa the fox and Marla the porcupine. We all had a wonderful day! Unfortunately, Dean and the team have really been struggling financially with food, vets bills and other expenses for these animals as their encounters have had to be suspended. Lots of the animals are rescues and the team work tirelessly to look after these wonderful animals (in addition to their full-time jobs of working on the frontline for the NHS in Morriston Hospital!). A JustGiving page has been set up as well as an Amazon Wishlist to try and support the team and these animals as much as possible in the current times.
We felt that the money we have raised would be best suited going to this small business to help animals such as Sansa and Marla and we have sent a cheque to them for £602. The money is gratefully received and will be used to directly help these wonderful animals.
Thank you once again to everyone who has donated! Below is a selection of photographs of some of the animals you have helped:
