By running 60 miles throughout January I am hoping to raise £200, but also awareness to how much it costs for the charity to stay up and running, they need our support now more than ever. All animals deserve the best life - and without adopting them all like I wish I could this is a good way to help! For someone who doesn’t run, this is gonna be fun HA!

2020 has taken its toll,Rationing rice and toilet roll.But of the things that have gone wrong,The community spirit has stayed strong.Next year we celebrate the one, two, five,Will you be there to help us survive?Better times will soon prevail,And with your help well never fail.Over the next year, can you help us to raise as much as possible to help more animals in the North East? Whether you make a donation or do some fundraising, every single contribution helps and we couldn't thank you enough for your support.Standard annual running costs for the charity are in excess of £1.25 million and as we approach our 125th year we'd love to raise above and beyond these costs so we can do even more for the animals who arrive into our care.All of your donations make a direct improvement to the lives of the animals we care for. We are so lucky to have such amazing supporters and we thank you for your continued support.Here's to the next 125 years with you by our side.
