Strictly Worcestershire · 24 May 2019

This charity rehomes and rehabiltates unwanted or abandoned animals, cats, dogs and ex-battery chickens. We provide shelter for them until the right home is found. As a small independent charity, we rely on the generosity of our staff, volunteers and local community to keep our work going.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are competing in Strictly Worcestershire 2019 in support of this wonderful charity. We are hoping that our participation in the event will raise awareness for WARS. With no local authority or government funding the charity relies on fundraising to be able to provide shelter, care, and food for the unwanted, unloved or abandoned animals they have taken in. As the number of animals increases, so does the need for funding. It's not just rehoming older pets that they do, but sometimes they get a pregnant cat or an entire litter of puppies to look after too, which brings another level of care needs.

Neither of us are dancers and the first lessons did involve an awful lot of bumping into each other and tripping over our own feet, so the challenge we have accepted will not be an easy ride. We are learning two dances, in the spirit of Strictly Come Dancing, which we will perform during the gala dinner in front of a judging panel. We will be competing against 7 other couples in front of 700 dinner guests, so the pressure is on!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
